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 for Life (2020)

Genre: Action / Comedy
Directed by: Adil & Bilall
Cast: Martin Lawrence, Will Smith, Vanessa Hudgens
Running Time: 124 minutes



Marcus Burnett is looking to retire from police work after becoming a grandfather for the first time, but people from a past case involving his friend and cop buddy Mike Lowrey resurface killing many people in their entourage. So, the two Miami detectives get back together to work on the case.

In my opinion, this film was a breath of fresh air in the Bad Boys franchise. The storyline is more focused, without too much extra nonsense. There still are a lot of chases and explosions, but the story keeps you on the edge of your seat, with some cool twists and turns in the plot. Smith and Lawrence have managed to preserve their on-screen chemistry, and their banter is often very funny.

Overall, this was the best one of the three films. And I’m guessing there might be more.
