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.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Taika Waititi
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett 
Running time: 130 minutes

 


Thor is captured and brought to the alien planet Sakaar, where he is forced to take part in organized fighting. He must escape to save his planet, Asgard, from the hands of Hela, his long lost older sister, who came back from being banished by her father with vengeance on her mind in the form of Ragnarok.

This is the third film in the Thor series. As the film began, it was all a little too cartoonish for me, but the humor was a nice touch. Unfortunately, after a while, the filmmakers went overboard in the comedy department and it all became too silly to be even remotely funny. They were trying a little too hard, failing badly in the process. The acting was fine, but the silliness overtook the rest in the end. There were a few good songs that made me pop throughout, but even those moments were ruined in the end.
