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.

Tonight You're Mine (2011)

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: David Mackenzie
Starring: Luke Treadaway, Natalia Tena, Matthew Baynton
Running time: 80 minutes



This British Rock N’ Roll romantic comedy tells the story of Adam and Morello, members of two bands playing at a music festival in Scotland, who, upon arrival, get in a scuffle with each other. A security guard comes along and handcuffs them together. They try to break out, but to no avail. They will have to coexist for a while.

I did not quite know what to expect with this one. It was a title I found on Netflix, but I had never heard about it before. It seemed interesting, though the base for it seemed a little stupid, but I decided to give it a chance. I was glad I did. It is a very cute film, though in a rock n’ roll dirty kind of way. The music is mostly very good. A nice cover of Tainted Love particularly got my attention. It gets a little cheesy in the end, but I can forgive that, as I was thoroughly entertained.

Tonight You’re Mine is nice little story about the power of music to get people together on the same page. Well done, this movie is well worth the short time it lasts, and then some.
