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.

Bad Boys (1995)

Genre: Action / Comedy
Directed by: Michael Bay
Cast: Martin Lawrence, Will Smith, Téa Leoni
Running Time: 119 minutes



Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey are two friends working together as detectives in Miami. They take Julie Mott in protective custody, after she witnessed a French drug kingpin kill her best friend. Marcus and Mike will try to protect her while attempting to stop the drug dealer on his tracks.

Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have a great chemistry on screen, and this film offers a good dose of action, of chases and of explosions. Unfortunately, the movie is low on story and substance. There are many clichés and by-the-book buddy cop material, but not much that felt fresh on that side of things.

Still, Bad Boys was entertaining for what it was.
