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.

Fifty Shades Freed (2018)

Genre: Romance / Drama
Directed by: James Foley
Cast: Dakota Johnson, James Dornan, Eric Johnson
Time: 118 minutes

 


Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele are now married, but their honeymoon filled with marital bliss is disrupted by the return in the picture of Jack Hyde, Anastasia’s former boss. He is out for revenge against his former assistant, but he may also have some weird history with the groom.

This is the third installment in the movie franchise based on the infamous E.L. James novels. The greatest thing about the films in this series is that they get shorter as they go along. I guess that, with such a paper-thin story, there is less and less to say. The story is still full of clichés and the acting is still nothing special. The characters are so not believable. The cat-and-mouse storyline here has some interesting potential, but it gets muddled in the end and dropped fast in favor of the asinine relationship between the two main characters.
