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.

That 70's Show (1998-2006)

Genre: TV / Comedy
Directed by: David Trainer
Cast: Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson
Number of seasons: 8

 


In this series set between 1976 and 1979, a group of teenagers hang out together every day taking drugs, listening to music, dating each other and getting into all kinds of mischief. They mostly hang out at Eric Forman’s house, often to the dismay of Eric’s no-nonsense father Red. In the group are Eric and his on-and-off-again girlfriend Donna, Jackie, Kelso, Hyde and Fez.

A great comedic show, with loads of laugh-out-loud moments. A few weaker episodes here and there, but, overall, a great show with a loaded cast, full of talented folks. Even the support cast is strong here. My favorite characters are actually the adults, Red and Kitty Forman. Especially Red, who can threaten to put his foot into an ass like no other.
