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.

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Jon Watts
Cast: Tom Holland, Samuel L. Jackson, Zendaya 
Running Time: 181 minutes

 


Still reeling from the passing of his mentor Tony Stark, Peter Parker is hoping to set Spider-Man aside a bit and to enjoy a school trip to Europe, where he plans to share his feelings with MJ. Unfortunately for him, he gets aggressively recruited by Nick Fury and Mysterio for another very important mission.

I largely prefer these Marvel movies that focus on one superhero to those ensemble deals, where there are too many characters. This installment in the Spider-Man franchise is well-done, visually speaking, with good acting from an ensemble cast and a compelling storyline. It is fun and action-packed, and it leaves you wanting more. And, it contains a bit of Marisa Tomei, which, in my book, is always a great bonus. Overall, a good mix of action with a touch of romance.
