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.

Hotel Transylvania (2012)


Genre: Animated / Comedy
Directed by: Genndy Tartakovsky
Starring: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez
Running time: 91 minutes



Count Dracula has Hotel Transylvania built, where he hosts monsters, offering them shelter from humans, that he has grown to fear, blaming them for the death of his wife. As he is about to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ 118th birthday (her majority as a vampire) with friends, Johnny, a 21 years-old human ventures into the hotel, creating chaos. The overprotective father will try to get rid of the boy before his daughter falls for him and his monster guests realize there is a human in the place.

This is a cute animated film. The story is fine, in a thin sort of way. Some of the comedy made me chuckle, though it is pretty tame for adults. Children will sure appreciate. There is a little message here about acceptance, which is fitting for these times.
