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.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Louis Leterrier
Cast: Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt
Running Time: 112 minutes



Dr. Bruce Banner is hiding in Brazil after a failed experiment gave him gamma poisoning, which transforms him into the Incredible Hulk for brief periods whenever his heart rate goes over 200 beats per minute. He works in a bottling factory while trying to find a cure for his ailment. After an incident in the factory has repercussions that make their way back to the States, General Thaddeus Ross, who was involved in the original experiment, sends his team on the hunt to capture Banner and that stuff in his blood that can create a fighting monster.

With a solid cast and a compelling story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this is a very good superhero film. Sure, there are a few predictable turns and some cheesiness here and there, but, overall, I was thoroughly entertained.
