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.

Jaws (1975)

 Genre: Thriller
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert Shaw 
Running Time: 124 minutes

 


After a great white shark starts attacking and killing swimmers near the beach of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody embark on a boat with a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter to go on a mission to kill the awful beast.

This is a true cinema classic directed by Steven Spielberg. The action offers a thrilling ride, and most of the actors are really good. My only problem was with Robert Shaw as shark hunter Quint. I found him so hard to understand when he spoke that it took away from the movie experience for me. Other than that, I love this film. 

It all felt so actual to watch this again. A danger on the horizon, but people don't want to make the necessary sacrifices. Sounds familiar?
