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.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

Genre: Thriller
Directed by: Rian Johnson
Starring: Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Kate Hudson
Running time: 139 minutes

 


In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, tech billionaire Miles Bron invites a group of his closest friends to his mansion on a private Greek island to take part in a murder mystery game. Private investigator Benoit Blanc is also there. As secrets surface between the group of friends, an actual murder happens, and it’s a race to figure out what happened.

This whodoneit film is a stand-alone sequel to Knives Out, who came out in 2019. While not as strong as the original, this movie is quite enjoyable, thanks to a riveting storyline and strong acting. It bordered on being too long at one point, but I still loved it very much. Edward Norton is so good at the weird character.
