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.

Scream (2022)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin
Cast: Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega
Time: 114 minutes

 


Twenty-five years after the original Woodsboro murders, a new Ghostface is striking fear in town by targeting a group of teenagers somewhat related to the horrible events that happened a quarter of a century before. Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley come back to help stop this new menace.

This film is the fifth installment in the Scream franchise, but it was sold as a reboot of the original. It follows the events of Scream 4 and it was the first movie in the franchise to not be directed by Wes Craven, who passed in 2005.

It offers some decent entertainment. Some of the acting was a little uneven, but it was a nice treat to see the old characters back in supporting roles. This film was very meta, but the filmmakers managed to do it with some charm to it. It was an interesting play on the genre.
