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.

Wayne's World 2 (1993)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Stephen Surjik
Starring: Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Tia Carrere, Christopher Walken
Running Time: 95 minutes

 


Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar now host Wayne’s World from an abandoned factory in Aurora, Illinois. Following a dream where he is lead through the desert by a naked Indian to talk to Jim Morrison, Wayne decides that his destiny is to book a major concert called Waynestock in Aurora. While working on this, Wayne also deals with issues in love, as his girlfriend Cassandra’s new music producer, Bobby Cahn, is trying to pull her away from her man and from Aurora.

While some of the jokes in this sequel do not feel quite as fresh as those in the original, I still dug the storyline and the homages to such films as The Doors, Thelma and Louise and The Graduate. The Garth character was still given some fun stuff, such as the scenes with Kim Basinger. I must admit I was envious there. The Aerosmith cameo and the Farley scenes were also cool.
