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.

Psycho III (1986)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Anthony Perkins
Cast: Anthony Perkins, Diana Scarwid, Jeff Fahey 
Running Time: 93 minutes


 

A couple of months after the events of the second movie, Norman Bates is still living at Bates Motel with the preserved corpse of Emma Spool in his house, now taking mother’s room. A suicidal former nun named Maureen Coyle arrives at the motel, with a drifter named Duane Duke. Norman falls in love with the former nun and hires Duane to work at the motel. A reporter named Tracy Venable comes snooping around, investigating the disappearance of Emma Spoole.

All the while playing the lead role in his usual strong fashion, Anthony Perkins did a very effective directing job here. It was an interesting follow-up to the Hitchcock original and to the sequel. The story had a few more weaknesses, but it still kept my interest.
