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 Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)

Genre: Drama
Directed by: Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz
Cast: Shia LeBeouf, Zack Gottsagen, Dakota Johnson
Running Time: 98 minutes


 

Zak, a young adult with Down syndrome, escapes his assisted living facility with the hope of having his idol train him to be a professional wrestler. On the outside, Zak meets Tyler, a rebel fisherman on the run from his enemies. The two men form a bond and start traveling together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The acting was solid, the story was compelling, and the whole thing had me hooked all the way through. It was also a nice treat to see the likes of Mick Foley and Jake Roberts in a movie. Highly recommended for the human aspect of this tale on film.
