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.

Travelin' Band: Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall (2022)

Genre: Musical / Documentary
Directed by: Bob Smeaton
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Creedence Clearwater Revival
Running time: 86 minutes

 


This film captures the full performance by American band Creedence Clearwater Revival at the Royal Albert Hall, in London, England, in 1970. It also offers a short documentary, narrated by none other than Jeff Bridges, on the creation of the group and its road up to that point.

I have always loved the music of CCR. To have this concert showing them live, before they completely imploded, was quite a treat. And to have it narrated by none other than the Dude itself, Jeff Bridges, really tied the whole thing together. While the documentary part felt a little dry at time, as it was exclusively based on archived footage, it was still cool and interesting.
