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.

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984)

Genre: Action
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan
Running time: 118 minutes


This was a prequel to the first Indiana Jones film. Harrison Ford was back as the main character, Indiana Jones, who was asked by desperate Indian villagers to recuperate a mystical stone and to free their children from a cult practicing black magic, child slavery and human sacrifice. With a nightclub dancer and his 11-year-old Chinese boy sidekick in tow, Dr. Jones has his work cut out for him.

Honestly, as this film was going on, I lost interest pretty face. The storyline made no sense, the acting was bad and I stopped caring pretty quick. I just wanted it all to end. The only bright spot here was Ke Huy Quan as Short Round.
