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.

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001)

Genre: Comedy / Action
Directed by: Simon Wincer
Cast: Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, Jere Burns
Time: 88 minutes

 


Mick “Crocodile” Dundee and Sue Charlton are now living together in the Australian Outback with their young son. When Sue’s father offers her to become the bureau chef of his newspaper in Los Angeles, the whole family crosses the Pacific to go to LA. Sue picks up on the investigation into a film studio that was started by her predecessor, and, soon enough, Mick decides to get involved the messy ordeal.

This second sequel was not necessary at all. The fish-out-of-water hijinks of the Australian bushman in a different environment was stale at that point. It just felt like a dumb rehash of the same jokes with a small, tiny twist on them. A few moments made me smile or chuckle, but they were very few. The story was pointless. It was basically an excuse to go through the motions. And Jonathan Banks with a shitty accent. Wow.
