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.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989)

Genre: Science-fiction / Comedy
Directed by: Stephen Herek
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, George Carlin
Running time: 159 minutes

 


With the help of a mysterious man named Rufus, dim-witted high school students and aspiring musicians from San Dinas, California, Bill and Ted, travel through time to gather various major historical figures for a presentation to their history class.

While the special effects do look very dated, this is still a fun film. The two main cast members are so perfect for their roles, and it is always cool to see George Carlin in anything. Some little details were overlooked, like the fact that the guy playing Napoleon, is clearly not French. In spite of that, I love this movie, with the many good jokes and the various cultural references.
