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.

Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond (2017)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Chris Smith
Starring: Jim Carrey
Running time: 94 minutes



This Netflix original documentary covers the creative process actor Jim Carrey went through to portray Andy Kaufman on screen and the shooting of the film Man on the Moon.

This film goes back and forth between a recent interview with Jim Carrey and archived footage shot during the making of Man on the Moon. Those watching this documentary might end up finding Carrey a little cuckoo, and who could blame them, but this movie is a magnificent look into the mind of a very creative man. As creative as he is, though, I’m not sure I’d like to put up with him on a regular basis.
