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.

Jimmy Carr: The Best of Ultimate Gold Greatest Hits (2019)

 Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Brian Klein
Cast: Jimmy Carr 
Running Time: 58 minutes

 


Jimmy Carr’s humor is not for the faints of heart or the sensitive souls. No topic whatsoever is off limits. The only thing stopping Carr from being among my absolute favorite comics is that, in his shows, there usually is not much structure. It is hard to describe exactly what he talked about, as it is just a free-floating barrage of jokes on an array of controversial topics. It is the case here again with this TV special. That being said, I still enjoy it. It is a great way, for me anyways, to release some stress by laughing at a bunch of “inappropriate jokes” about sensitive issues. Loads of fun for a twisted guy such as myself.
