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.

Pacific Rim (2013)

Genre: Science-fiction
Directed by: Guillermo Del Toro
Cast: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi
Time: 132 minutes


 

In a futuristic version of 2013, giant alien monsters called Kaiju are coming from under the Pacific Ocean to attack coastal cities. A group of humans are banding together to operate massive robots called Jaegers built to fight these evil forces.

Even though science-fiction is usually not my thing, this movie had a plot filled with humanity through all the mumbo-jumbos. The acting was also pretty good. As for the visuals, they were amazing. So, while this is not usually my cup of tea, I was entertained.
