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.

Walk. Ride. Rodeo (2019)

Genre: Biographical
Directed by: Conor Allyn
Starring: Missi Pyle, Spencer Locke, Bailey Chase 
Running time: 99 minutes

 


This film tells the true story of Amberley Snyder, a 19 year-old girl from Utah who was nationally-ranked as a rodeo barrel racer. After a severe spine injury suffered in a motor vehicle accident left her paralyzed, she had extreme odds to overcome if she ever wanted to practice her sport again.

Quite often, inspirational films are plagued by cheesy screenplays and bad acting. Also, it can easily become loaded with bible thumping. That is not the case here. What we get is an inspiring story beautifully told of screen, with pretty good acting. Overall, this offers a pretty good 99 minutes of movie-watching.
