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.

Antwone Fisher (2002)

 Genre: Biographical / Drama
Directed by: Denzel Washington
Cast: Derek Luke, Denzel Washington, Joy Bryant
Running Time: 120 minutes

 


This film is based on the true story of Antwone Fisher, a man whose rough childhood came to a head while he was a serviceman in the US Navy. After getting into a fight with a colleague, Fisher is sent to psychiatrist Dr. Jerome Davenport, who will try to help the young man get to the root of his issues.

This was Denzel Washington’s directorial debut, and he did a solid job. And, as usual, his acting was great too. The rest of the cast did quite well too to tell this touching story. I was hooked from start to finish, I was moved. A great movie.
