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.

Meatballs (1979)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Ivan Reitman
Cast: Bill Murray, Harvey Atkin, Kate Lynch 
Running Time: 94 minutes

 


Tripper Harrison is the free-spirited head counsellor of Camp North Star, a summer camp in Ontario, Canada. He his known for his many shenanigans. Year after year, Camp North Star enters into an intense rivalry with Camp Mohawk, a fellow camp with a much bigger budget and a more elite group of kids.

This is a fun Canadian comedy that is greatly helped by Bill Murray’s presence in the cast. He outshines everyone else by a whole lot. It is a little tame for that genre, in my humble opinion, but it is fine for what it is.
