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.

George Carlin: 40 Years of Comedy (1997)


Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Rocco Urbisci
Cast: George Carlin, Jon Stewart
Time: 59 minutes



As you would guess by looking at the title, this show was created to recap the career of the great George Carlin up to that time. Hosted by Jon Stewart, the show starts with a brief intro by the host telling us about the importance of Carlin in the world of comedy. Then, there is a montage of the work done by the famous comic. Then, George Carlin himself takes the stage to deliver some comedy before being interviewed by Stewart. This show was near perfect. Really, the only flaw is I would have taken more, especially in the interview section. Carlin was always fascinating to listen to.
