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.

Big Time in Hollywood, Fl (2015)

Genre: TV / Comedy
Starring: Alex Anfanger, Lenny Jacobson, Jon Bass
Number of seasons: 1



Jack and Ben Dolfe are two young adult brothers still living with their parents. They are aspiring filmmakers who have a greatly exaggerated view of their own potential. When their parents ask them to leave the parental nest, panic sets in and they strike up a plan of action to avoid having to leave. In the process, they create a chain of events that is sure to leave a trail of blood and dead bodies behind.

Big Time in Hollywood, Fl is a very funny dark comedy, and I fail to understand why it was not renewed for a second season. The cast was good and the writing was funny, though some stuff was a bit over-the-top, even for that genre. It was easy to get invested in the characters and there definitely was the potential for more.

Also notable in this show were the cameos from well-known actors, such as Cuba Gooding Jr., Jason Alexander and Michael Madsen. These guys were pretty game to partake in this lesser-known project.

This is a very good show that unfortunately feels a little incomplete at only one season.
