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.

Parker (2013)

Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: Taylor Hackford
Starring: Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Nick Nolte
Running time: 118 minutes

 


Parker is a professional thief who gets double-crossed and left for dead by his crew after a successful heist. He survives and sets out for Palm Beach, where he hopes to catch his former allies on their next big crime to seek revenge on them. Along the way, he finds unlikely help from a real estate agent with big ambitions.

The action in this film packs quite a punch, and man is Jennifer Lopez ever gorgeous. The acting is decent. As for the story itself, it gets a little silly at times. Some plot twists leave you scratching your head. Nonetheless, Parker remains a fun film for a slow night where one just wants to relax.
