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.

Fighting with My Family (2019)


Genre: Biographical / Comedy / Drama
Directed by: Stephen Merchant
Cast: Florence Pugh, Lena Heady, Nick Frost, Vince Vaughn
Time: 108 minutes
The biographical film, produced by Dwayne The Rock Johnson, chronicles the career of British pro wrestler Paige, from her start in her family’s local company to her rise to fame in World Wrestling Entertainment.

This is a very good film. Even my wife, who knows nothing about pro wrestling and does not care to learn about it, enjoyed it. So, don’t let the subject matter stop you from seeing this if you are not into pro wrestling.

This is a very cool story about daring to dream and fighting to make you dreams come true. The filmmakers managed to rise above clichés and make a heartwarming film filled with loads of laughs.
