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.

Problem Child 2 (1991)

 Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Brian Levant
Cast: John Ritter, Michael Oliver, Jack Warden, Ivyann Schwan
Time: 90 minutes

 


Ben Healy, now a single father to his adopted turbulent son Junior, moves with his kid to Mortville, Oregon, with the hope of turning over a new leaf. Ben wants to get back on the dating scene, but Junior, being overly protective of the only family he loves, becomes very troublesome again. Junior also crosses path with another problem child, a little girl his age named Trixie.

 Another blast from the past for me. Sure, much of the humor is low brown and tasteless, but it remains entertaining for what it is. It is fun to see the nasty shenanigans being pulled by those two kids. Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but pleasurable nonetheless.
