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.

Clear and Present Danger (1994)

 
Genre: Thriller / Action
Directed by: Phillip Noyce
Starring: Harrison Ford, Willem Dafoe, Anne Archer 
Running time: 141 minutes

 


Jack Ryan is now CIA acting Deputy Director (Intelligence) and he discovers a covert war being waged by colleagues against a Columbian drug cartel. This covert war seems to be happening with the knowledge of the US president.

This is the third installment in the Jack Ryan franchise inspired by the Tom Clancy novels. Quite honestly, this film never really hooked me in. It was too long, the story was complex and not very compelling, and I just tuned out. A few good elements caught my eye, but so very little.
