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.

Legally Blonde (2001)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Robert Luketic
Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair
Time: 96 minutes


 

Elle Woods is a blonde sorority girl studying in fashion merchandising. After she gets dumped by her boyfriend, who finds her not to be serious enough to fit into his future plans, she decides to enroll in the same Harvard Law program as him in an attempt to win him back.

This is a cute film. It is loaded with clichés and stereotypical characters, but a solid performance by Witherspoon and the fun storyline bring the material up to an entertaining level. The message is a little heavy handed but, hey, such is life with Hollywood sometimes.
