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 Jefferies: This Is Me Now (2018)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Scott Zabielski
Cast: Jim Jefferies
Time: 70 minutes



In his latest comedy special, shot live on stage from London, England, Australian comic Jim Jefferies discusses such topics as Donald Trump, politics, hypocrisy, sexual assault, his life as a single father and much more.

Jefferies seems to take a lot of pleasure in his irreverence, and that kind of fun is contagious. He does not hesitate to tackle different subjects, and, in my book, he does it well. This show is not vulgar for the sake of being so. The comic has certain things to say and he wraps it all up in a very entertaining package. There were a few jokes that made me feel bad I laughed, like his anecdote about an audience member at a previous show who got extremely offended by one of his jokes about dead babies.

This show made laugh out loud from beginning to end, and it closed strong with a very funny anecdote about Mariah Carey and a certain birthday party.
