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.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

 Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway
Running Time: 165 minutes

 


Eight years after sacrificing Batman to keep the deceased Harvey Dent a hero for the sake of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne is living a secluded life. But the arrival of a dangerous revolutionary named Bane, with an evil plan to destroy the city with an atom bomb while turning its citizens against each other, the Dark Knight will have to rise again.

While extremely long, this film offers a compelling story and some good action. The acting is mostly very good, albeit a little over the top at times. That is often a given with superhero movies. Bale’s Batman voice is still weird, and there are other little faults here and there in the film, but, overall, it is a lot of fun to watch.
