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.

Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Genre: Comedy / Action
Directed by: Peter Fairman
Cast: Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, Mark Blum
Time: 104 minutes

 


Newsday journalist, Sue Charlton, travels to rural Australia to interview Mick Dundee, a bushman who became famous for surviving a crocodile attack. After traveling with him through his home land, she invites him to come to New York City with her, where he truly is a fish-out-of-water.

While this movie contains many a cliché, all the pieces are put in the right place, and the whole thing is a fun and entertaining experience. Paul Hogan plays the role he was born to play, and Linda Kozlowski bring the right amount of spunk, brains and good looks to the co-lead role.
