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.

Pitch Perfect (2012)

Genre: Musical/Comedy
Directed by: Jason Moore
Cast: Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Rebel Wilson
Running Time: 112 minutes

 


The Barden Bellas are an all-girl a cappella group from Barden University that have been trying for years to win the National competition, with a traditionalist number, but they always come short. With an influx of new talent, they might stand a chance, if uptight ringleader Aubrey agrees to let go of the reigns a little bit.

With a talented ensemble cast and some toe-tapping musical numbers, Pitch Perfect is a fun film, albeit very campy. Some of the performances are over-the-top and there is a lot of silliness involved, but it is entertaining for what it is. Special mention to Elizabeth Banks. Her performance was a highlight for me.
