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.

Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap: Every Song Tells a Story (2014)

 Genre: Musical
Directed by: John Barnard
Starring: Randy Bachman
Running time: 87 minutes


 

Inspired by his own radio show, guitarist Randy Bachman decided to go on stage with a group of musicians, in his hometown of Winnipeg, to tell the stories that inspired many of the songs he wrote with The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. After telling the stories, he performed these songs, to the delight of the crowd.

Amazon Prime had been recommending this one to me for a while, so I decided to give it a chance. I loved it. Bachman is a great storyteller and musician. Vocally, he’s nothing to write home about anymore as a singer, but it did not matter. This was such a great walk through Memory Lane. I rediscovered many of those songs I had been taking for granted.
