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.

After Earth (2013)

Genre: Science-fiction / Action
Directed by: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Will Smith, Jaden Smith
Time: 100 minutes


 

Around 1,000 years into the future, humans have evacuated Earth following a massive catastrophe. Father and son Cypher and Kitai Raige go on a mission together and end up crashing to Earth with their crew. The young son must go on a dangerous trek to find what is needed to save his gravely injured father. 

What a horrible movie. I imagine that getting slapped publicly in the face cannot feel as bad as watching this. A pointless and boring story that plods along aimlessly, with absolutely wooden acting. I tuned this one out in no time.
