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.

Home Alone (1990)


Genre: Comedy / Christmas
Directed by: Chris Columbus
Cast: Macaulay Caulkin, Joe Pesci, Catherine O’Hara
Time: 103 minutes



The McCallister’s are traveling to Paris for Christmas to spend some quality family time. Unfortunately for them, they wake up late and have to rush to the airport, forgetting their youngest son Kevin at home in the process. Now, the 8-year-old, who is home alone, has to devise all kinds of schemes to stop two burglars from entering the family home.

This has become a Christmas classic over the years. It is cheesy, but quite entertaining. Caulkin was very good for a boy his age and the supporting cast was not bad. Overall, this is a fun film that I have enjoyed watching from time to time.
