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.

Jim Jefferies: Bare (2014)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Shannon Hartman
Starring: Jim Jefferies
Running time: 75 minutes



This 2014 Netflix original is a stand-up comedy special with Australian-born comic Jim Jefferies, who performs on stage in front of a Boston crowd. Over the course of 75 minutes, he discusses such topics as women’s rights, sex, kids, family and gun control. The material is raunchy; it would likely offend many people. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Notwithstanding his more balanced and careful approach to the controversial subject of gun control, Jefferies’ humor is unapologetic. I really dug his delivery, where lines come out slowly and often take a sharp turn at the end.

This one is not for the sensitive ears, but the fans of blue comedy will enjoy themselves. I am now looking for an April 18 t-shirt to be part of the brotherhood; it’s so close to my own birthday too.
