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.

The Comeback Trail (2020)

 Genre: Comedy
Directed by: George Gallo
Cast: Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones, Morgan Freeman
Running Time: 104 minutes

 


Max Barber is a grindhouse movie producer who is heavily indebted to the mob. Hoping to save his skin and his company, he starts producing a Western with a suicidal aging movie star, hoping to kill the actor off and cash in on the insurance money.

It is nice to see so many talented actors of yesteryear still working it and having fun together on screen, with some younger talent in the mix. This is a fun little movie, with a nice comedic storyline. It is nothing extraordinary, but it not bad either. It is a good piece of entertainment while it lasts.
