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.

Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day (2012)

Genre: Musical
Directed by: Dick Carruthers
Starring: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham
Running time: 124 minutes



This film captures a live performance recorded by the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin and Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham, the band’s late drummer. The show took place in December 2007, at the O2 Arena, in London, and it was a one-time deal for the band as part of the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert.

Celebration Day is very solid. Though he has aged quite a bit physically since his days as the Golden God, Robert Plant’s voice can still hold its own with the difficult material of the band. And Jimmy Page’s guitar playing is still strong. John Paul Jones does his job well and Jason Bonham will always be the best replacement possible on stage for his father behind Zeppelin.

Overall, this is a very good concert that offers a trip down memory lane with aging rock stars who can still actually go.
