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.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)

Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: Troy Duffy
Cast: Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Julie Benz, Peter Fonda, Billy Connolly
Time: 117 minutes

 


Eight years after the events of the first film, fraternal twin brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus are living a quiet life in Ireland with their father Noah. After a hired assassin attempts to frame them with the murder of a priest, the brothers return to Boston, where they team with a Mexican underground fighter to settle the issue.

While not completely uninteresting, I feel like the original should have been left alone. This extension to the story was not necessary. There were some good battles and some funny lines, but it dragged on way too long. They are talking of a third installment in the franchise. Personally, I think they should not bother.
