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 Mummy (1999)

Genre: Action / Horror
Directed by: Stephen Sommers
Starring: Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah
Running time: 125 minutes


Adventurer Rick O’Connell, librarian Evelyn Carnahan and her brother Jonathan Carnahan travel together to the city of the dead, where they encounter Imhotep, a cursed high priest mummy that gets awoken from his tomb with sinister plans.

I went in with low expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a silly action/horror movie, but it is entertaining, due mostly to the fact that it does not take itself seriously. Visually-speaking, it is a well done film. There is a good dose of humor here, and the actors all did their job well. Not my type of movie, but it was entertaining while it lasted.
