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.

Dexter: New Blood (2021-2022)

Genre: TV / Drama
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Jack Alcott, Julia Jones, Jennifer Carpenter
Number of seasons: 1

 


Ten years after faking his own death by riding his boat in a hurricane, Dexter Morgan has relocated to Iron Lake, NY, where he is living under the name Jim Lindsay. He is trying his best to live a normal life, with a little cabin in the woods and a relationship with the Police Chief. One evening, his estranged son Harrison, now a teenager, come knocking, with mysterious motives. Soon enough, the quiet life in Iron Lake is turned upside down.

I loved the original Dexter series, and I was curious to see where they would go with it. The original ending was disappointing, so I had hopes for a better end. Well, in my humble opinion, this was not it. This one season follow-up had its strong moments, but, in the end, I was left disappointed again by an ending that made no sense.
