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.

Autumn Born (1979)

Genre: Drama
Directed by: Lloyd A. Simandl
Cast: Dorothy Stratten, Roberta Weiss, Ihor Procak
Time: 74 minutes

A rich young woman is kidnapped and brought to a secret school of discipline at the request of her uncle in an effort to get her to give up her shares into her dead parents’ company.

This is a horrible movie. Some might call it erotica, but it truly feels like porn without the sex. It’s seedy and cheap, with really bad acting and a thin plot, but without any payoff. I was curious about this film after reading about the sad story of lead actress Dorothy Stratten, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend at the age of 20. Found this film on Youtube. At least it was short.
