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.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

 
Genre: Horror
Directed by: Danny Steinmann
Starring: John Shepherd, Melanie Kinnaman, Shavar Ross 
Running time: 92 minutes

 


Years after killing Jason Voorhees as a 12 year old boy, Tommy Jarvis is still haunted by nightmares from his encounter with the serial killer. Tommy is transferred to a halfway house, where he lives with a group of teens and young adults. When a new masked killer taking the mask and identity of Voorhees comes around, people start dying again.

That movie was the point where they took the franchise too far. It should have ended with the fourth film. In number five, the acting was bad, the story was pointless and the whole thing was a mess. It was overloaded with pointless nudity to try and compensate, but that sure was not enough to make this film even a little enjoyable.
