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: You Are All Diseased (1999)


Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Rocco Urbisci
Cast: George Carlin
Time: 65 minutes



By the time he was recording his 11th HBO comedy special, live from the Beacon Theatre, in New York, George Carlin was in his 60’s. But, that did not mean that the man considered by many, including myself, to be the greatest stand-up comic of all-time had lost any of his energy. In the hour-long set, Carlin discusses such topics as airport security, fear of germs, cigars, angels, kids, men, religion, advertising, Clinton, minorities and God. Here, Carlin is as caustic and edgy as ever. He takes no prisoners and spares no one as he dives head first into his view of things. This show certainly is not for the dainty minds out there. This is a solid set of comedy, packed with tons of material that will make you laugh, think and laugh again...or frown if you are overly sensitive.
