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: Walk Your Way Out (2017)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jay Karas
Cast: Bill Burr
Running time: 77 minutes



Recorded live in Nashville shortly before the last American election, the latest Bill Burr comedy special offers another serving of the comedy stylings the comedian has come to be known for. Burr discusses Trump and Clinton, fat people, racism, Hitler and Stalin, and many other topics.

It can be easy for some to get offended by Bill Burr’s material. After all, he never shies away from difficult topics. But, I don’t offend easily. Even when he shared his annoyance with certain fat people, I had to agree, though I am no small man by any means. I have always been convinced that we are the only people to blame for the damage we do to ourselves.

As for this comedy show itself, it was very good. Many moments had me laughing out loud. The jokes about Trump’s wall were hilarious. At other times, it provoked thought. There were a few weaker spots, but not many. I appreciate Bill Burr’s comedy because it dares to go in uneasy places, even if it means not having a laugh every 15 seconds. Burr also happens to share many thoughts, ideas, opinions and sensibilities with myself. Highly recommended, though it will not please everyone.
