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.

Bill Burr: I'm Sorry You Feel That Way (2014)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jay Karas
Cast: Bill Burr
Running time: 80 minutes



This Netflix original comedy special gives us the American comedian Bill Burr on stage, in front of an audience, doing what he does best: Make people laugh. For over an hour, Burr goes discusses a myriad of subject matters and the flow is always seamless.

I really dug the fact that this show was shot in black and white, giving it a more rustic feel. I love the old style of comedy, back when everything could fly. In his set, Burr made a point of discussing all those groups that seem to get offended by anything and everything nowadays. Since that is something that bothers me too, I really identified with that. I also appreciated the fact that Bill Burr does not take himself seriously. He will even poke fun at himself, and that is always endearing with comedians.  

If you’re easily offended, I would not recommend this particular title to you. If that is not a problem, well, this is a must-see.
