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 Wedding Date (2005)

 Genre: Romantic Comedy
Directed by: Clare Kilner
Starring: Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney, Amy Adams
Running time: 90 minutes

 


As she is set to serve as maid-of-honor in her sister’s wedding, Kat Ellis is desperate not to go to the event alone, especially since her ex-fiancé, who recently broke her heart, will also be there, as best man to the groom. She decides to hire a male escort, Nick Mercer, to pretend to be her boyfriend, with the hope of making her ex jealous.

This is your run-of-the-mill rom com with oversweetness and predictable ending. That being said, the acting was decent and it was still fun to watch on a slow night. The kind of film that was fine for what it was but that I would not really care to revisit.
