I’m back! It’s been a while! First, let me take the occasion to wish you all a very happy new year, 2024! I also hope you had a lovely Christmas if you were celebrating. As indicated by this article’s title, I’m back to continuing this tradition of presenting the best films I read more

Believe it or not, I received a notification yesterday morning informing me that I created this blog no less than nine years ago! And I thought it had “only” been eight years. Well, time flies. These have been nine prosperous years of blogging with now 492 followers (come on, can we reac read more

It’s not a secret for anyone familiar with The Wonderful World of Cinema that I love British films, especially the classic ones. They have a unique charm, especially with the actors and dialogue delivery that you don’t find in Hollywood films (and I’m not necessarily thinking of read more

Last Tuesday, the 6th edition of The Wonderful Ingrid Blogathon, celebrating the three-time Oscar-winning actress, ended with the submission of the last articles by the participants. It’s been a pleasure, as always, to read your material and see how much Ingrid is still appreciated, even 41 y read more

Finally! For the sixth time since the existence of this blog, The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon is back! For three days, from August 27 to August 29, participant bloggers will share their thoughts on Ingrid Bergman, her films, life, career, etc. This event aims to honour one of the b read more

Recently, I’ve got tempted to participate in blogathons again, but, to tell you the truth, I also missed hosting them. Although I have various ideas in mind, I’ve decided to return with one of my classics: The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon! I hosted that blogging event for the first time read more

Betty Grable, just like other sex symbols such as Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield, is nowadays more often remembered for her physical appeal than her acting and the films in which she starred. We particularly remember her for that utterly iconic pin-up photo showcasing her famous legs (insured fo read more

It’s been ages since I’ve participated in a blogathon! The last time I did was actually in April 2022, and it was for one of my own blogathons… But life happened, and I just got busy with other things. My apologies to the bloggers whose blogathons I had to skip. Since things are ca read more

Three Enchanting Ladies Although we’re still in May, it’s starting to get warmer and warmer here in Montreal, and it feels like summer will arrive sooner than later. There are already tons of people enjoying a drink on a terrace or having a picnic in a park. A serene atmosphere floats in the air. read more

Remember that Ealing comedies blog series I started a while ago (and then completely abandoned)? Well, surprise! I’m back! I hope your life’s been well since the last instalment of this series, my review of Whisky Galore!  What we have on the menu this time is the masterpiece Kind Heart read more

Today, my favourite actor, the iconic James Stewart, would have been 115 years old. Born in Indiana, Pennsylvania, on May 20, 1908, he became one of the most well-appreciated figures of classic Hollywood by exploring all sorts of genres, working with top directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Cap read more

Oscar season is ending tonight as we are finally reaching the award ceremony! I don’t know if I’d be able to watch them (I hope yes), but regardless, it’s an occasion to go back on this blog since it’s been a long time. And now that I forgot to cancel my Grammarly subscriptio read more

Happy New Year to all! I’m taking a little break from the Ealing Comedies Blog Series because, as the year 2022 recently ended, it’s time for me to do a recap of my favourite films watched that year! So, for the occasion, I’ve decided to go with a top 20. I’ve spent long peri read more

The journey across the Ealing comedies continues today with Whisky Galore!, a 1949 film that introduced two critical figures to these films: director Alexander Mackendrick and actress Joan Greenwood. By the way, I just discovered that Alexander Mackendrick also directed Sweet Smell of Succ read more

Our exploration of the comedies produced by Ealing Studios continues today with what I consider a true classic of the series: Passport to Pimlico (Henry Cornelius, 1949). Interestingly, that was Cornelius’s first film! Sadly, his career was noticeably short, as he passed away at the very youn read more

The Ealing Comedies Blog Series continues today with a second film directed by Charles Crichton: Another Shore! Released in 1948, it stars Canadian actor Robert Beatty in the leading role, South-African actress Moira Lister and English actor Stanley Holloway, all finding themselves in a Dublin sett read more

I’ve recently announced that I was starting a new blog series exploring the Ealing comedies, films produced by Ealing Studios in London from the late 40s to the late 50s! I’m officially kicking things off with what is often considered to be the first one of that, let’s not forget read more

Three years ago, on The Wonderful World of Cinema, I gave myself the exciting challenge of watching and reviewing all the Carry On films in what became a blog series. It was not less than 32 films, and they instantly became huge (admittedly guilty) pleasures. They made me discov read more

Whenever I’m travelling, I enjoy the fact that I can visit and discover the wonders of whatever chosen destination and finally be able to take that time of the year to read a book. I used to be a much more avid reader when I was younger. Many factors, such as a passion for films, blog and mag read more
