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.

Bo Burnham: Make Happy (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Bo Burnham and Christopher Storer
Cast: Bo Burnham
Running time: 60 minutes



Three years after the release of What, comedian and musician Bo Burnham is back on Netflix with a new comedy special called Make Happy. Fans of Burnham’s style will find more of what they love about him. He is still all over the place, though a little more structured this time around.

Unlike What, Make Happy starts strong and then fades more and more to end flatly. Strong moments come in the form of an ironic song about the difficulty of being a straight white male and in another ditty about the fakeness of certain country artists.

Overall, this show has its moments, but it managed to lose my interest every now and then.
