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.

The Last Dance (2020)

Genre: TV / Documentary
Starring: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Phil Jackson
Number of episodes: 10

 


This 10 episodes documentary tells the story of the Chicago Bulls sports dynasty that reigned over the basketball of the NBA for most of the 1990’s, with a particular focus on Michael Jordan’s last season with the team, in 1997-1998.

With archived footage and new interviews with the likes of Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kerr and Jackson, this documentary is a compelling tale of sports excellence. We also hear from journalists and former opponents of the Bulls. To be honest, I have never cared much about basketball, but this series still captivated me. Jordan especially comes off as a complex personality. He could be brash and arrogant, but, damn, what an athlete. I have become a big fan.

This is well worth watching.
