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.

Rodney Carrington: Live at The Majestic (2007)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: David Newman
Starring: Rodney Carrington, Bob Hoban
Running time: 70 minutes



Rodney Carrington is part stand-up comic, part country singer. In this comedy special recorded at the Majestic Theatre, in Dallas, Texas, he starts with the comedy bits before strapping on his guitar and playing some funny songs, accompanied on piano by a fellow musician.

As for the material, it is the basic redneck stuff about sex, sexual orientation, women, body parts and bodily functions. If you are a fan of the likes of Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the cable guy, you should get a kick out of this. The jokes and songs are quite funny and made me laugh out loud many times, but his schtick tends to get repetitive after a while. Still good for an amusing evening of light entertainment, if you dig the genre.
