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.

Lewis Black: Black on Broadway (2004)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Paul Miller
Cast: Lewis Black
Running time: 58 minutes



Taking the stage at the Brooks Atkinson Theater, in New York, in 2004, Lewis Black delved into the kind of humor he has come to be very well known for: extremely political, yet politically incorrect. Black does not hesitate for a second to criticize and poke fun at his own country, but he does not come from a biased point of view. I like that. Both Democrats and Republicans get freely skewered over the course of almost an hour.

In this comedy special, Lewis Black discusses such topics as bottled water, corporate greed, stupidity in America and more. The tone is very acidic, so that might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but I liked it. Lewis Black in a thinking man’s comedian that does his job quite well on stage. I highly recommend this show if you can track it down.
