Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: James Gunn
Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista
Running time: 122 minutes



Peter Quill, who was abducted as a boy by alien thieves, join up with a group of extraterrestrial creatures to form the Guardians of the Galaxy and fight off the enemy over the possession of a powerful orbital artefact.

This superhero movie offers quite a considerable dose of gobbledygook that is sure to appeal to comic book nerds. I am not one of those people, so that was a turn off to me. That being said, there was a also a lot of humor, which I appreciated. Many lines made me laugh quite a bit. And the music was awesome.

So, while I found this film overly long, considering the story did not appeal too much to me, I was still somewhat entertained.
