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.

Army of Darkness (1992)

Genre: Horror / Comedy
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Cast: Bruce Campbell, Embeth Davidtz, Marcus Gilbert
Time: 88 minutes

 


Following the events of Evil Dead 2, Ash Williams finds himself transported in the Middle Ages, where he is captured by Lord Arthur’s men. He manages to escape execution, but he must fight the undead to find the Necronomicon and be returned to the present.

This is the third and final installment in the original Evil Dead franchise. Here, it is played a lot more for laughs than for the scary effects. That aspect of it made it fun for me. Many lines made me laugh, and Bruce Campbell’s charm and delivery contributed a lot to the deal also. Sure, there is a lot of silliness involved, but I was entertained.
