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.

Death Wish 3 (1985)

Genre: Action / Thriller
Directed by: Michael Winner
Cast: Charles Bronson, Deborah Raffin, Ed Lauter
Time: 90 minutes

 


Following the events of the previous film, architect Paul Kersey spent about a year traveling to various cities doing his thing as a vigilante. He then comes back to New York City for the first time since he was kicked out of the city, to visit an old friend he met during the Korean War. Kersey arrives to find out his friend was beaten and killed by a group of thugs. He is first suspected of doing the crime, but, recognizing him, police chief Richard Shriker recruits him to collaborate with the cops. Kersey moves into his friend’s apartment and proceeds to try to clean up the city once again.

While the action is more intense at this point in the franchise, the acting really felt uninspired on everybody’s part. They just seemed to go through the motions.
