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.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)

Genre: Romance / Drama
Directed by: James Foley
Cast: Dakota Johnson, James Dornan, Eric Johnson
Time: 118 minutes


 

After leaving Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele starts a new job as an assistant to Jack Hyde, an editor at Seattle Independent Publishing. Soon enough, though, Christian is back in her life and they rekindle their relationship, promising openness and the absence of rules and punishments.

I just find this franchise, based on the E.L. James novels, so filled with clichés, it is unbelievable. That old used idea of the good girl who just wants to redeem and save the bad boy, the tortured soul. And, of course, the tortured soul is a good-looking millionaire. Beyond the few sexy scenes this film offers, I just find it silly, clichéd and uninteresting.
