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.

Breathless (2012)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jesse Baget
Cast: Gina Gershon, Val Kilmer, Kelli Giddish, Ray Liotta
Running time: 92 minutes



Lorna is a Texas housewife who shoots and kills her husband Dale in front of her friend Tiny while trying to get him to confess to robbing the local bank. She now has to find a way to dispose of the body and finding the money without getting caught by the authorities.

Jesse Baget, who cowrote and directed this film, was trying to be really funny and smart with Breathless; it was a total fail. Not even the talented cast on hand could save this one. It is clichéd, it is silly; in short, it is a total waste of time. There is a nice twist at the end, but even that is not worth the pain of watching this flick.
