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.

David Cross: Making America Great Again! (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Alex Coletti
Cast: David Cross
Running time: 146 minutes



In his latest comedy special, available now on Netflix, David Cross, better known for playing the hilarious role of Tobias on Arrested Development, pulls no punches. Judging from the frequent walkouts at his live performances, Cross’ own particular brand of political humor is not everyone’s cup of tea.

In this special, quite evidently (based on the title), David Cross discusses Donald Trump and his success, the Republicans in general, the NRA, religions and much more. As you can see, he tackles controversial stuff. The American stand-comic/actor has a very interesting perspective on things.

I enjoyed Cross’s very sardonic delivery. There is a lot of irony here, with various degrees beyond which the viewer has to be prepared to look. Some of the material was not as strong as the rest and a tad preachy, but, overall, this is a very funny show. The Hi, Hitler bit was definitely my favorite. I laughed hard at that one.
