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.

Creed III (2023)

 Genre: Drama
Directed by: Michael B. Jordan
Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors
Time: 116 minutes

 


As Adonis Creed’s boxing career is winding down, he moves into promoting, while spending more time with his wife and young daughter. Damian Anderson, an old friend from Adonis’ youth, comes knocking, after being released from prison. Hiding his true intentions, Damian asks Adonis to arrange for him a title fight so he can finally get the chance he never got before in the sport of boxing.

This is the third installment in the Creed franchise, which is a follow-up to the Rocky series. For the first time in the whole franchise, the Rocky Balboa character is not involved. And, frankly, contrary to what I first apprehended, he is not missed.

I really loved this film. Michael B. Jordan did a solid job as director and lead actor. The story is very compelling. I was pulled in from the start and fully hooked all the way through. Overall, a very good installment in a franchise that has been part of my life for so long.
