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.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Genre: Action / Comedy
Directed by: Martin Brest
Cast: Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton 
Running Time: 105 minutes

 


Axel Foley is young and brash detective from Detroit who travels to Beverly Hills, on his own time, to solve the mysterious murder of his best friend.

I have been on an Eddie Murphy trip as of late, and it is amazing to see how good he once was at comedy. It is also sad to see how far he has fallen as of late.

In Beverly Hills Cop, Murphy is young and hip, and he is in top comedic form. He radiates off the screen and carries this film by himself. This is a fun action-comedy flick. Sure, it contains a good dose of clichés of the era, but it is still so enjoyable.
