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 Conjuring 2 (2016)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: James Wan
Cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor 
Time: 134 minutes

 


After completing their investigation into the Amityville murders, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren are called upon for another case in Enfield, England. The couple travel to the London suburb to investigate the matter of a potential poltergeist affecting the lives of the Hodgson family in their council house.

While not as fresh of a film as its predecessor, this sequel is still an effective paranormal activity story told on screen. The acting is solid enough and the story pulls you in. While I do not believe in that sort of thing, I can still find stories like this interesting when told by talented folks.
