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.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

 Genre: Horror
Directed by: Rob Hedden
Starring: Jensen Daggett, Scott Reeves, Peter Mark Richman, Kane Hodder 
 Running time: 100 minutes

 


Jason Voorheers is once again brought back to life from the bottom of the sea. This time, he infiltrates a cruise ship filled with a group of graduating seniors on a trip to New York City with two teachers serving as chaperones.

This one is a total waste of time. Even the characters you are supposed to root for are so annoying that you just cannot do it. You just want Jason to finish the job quick and get it over with. And that was the longest film of that franchise at that point. The story labors along aimlessly, with no sense of direction to it. At the end, you almost want Jason to kill you too, for daring to watch this cinematic juiceless lemon.
