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 II (1988)

Genre: Comedy / Action
Directed by: John Cornell
Cast: Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, John Meillon
Time: 112 minutes

 


Mick Dundee and Sue Charlton are now a couple living in New York City, where the crocodile-hunting wild man is still somewhat a fish out of water. After Sue becomes the target of a Columbian drug cartel because of her ex-husband Bob, who works for the DEA, Mick brings her back to Australia, on his territory, where he can await the attack and protect his girlfriend and himself.

This sequel does not feel as fresh as the first film. While it is still a fun piece of cinematic entertainment, it is a little heavier on the clichés and the silliness. Nonetheless, it was quite amusing.
