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.

Adam Sandler: Love You (2024)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Josh Safdie
Cast: Adam Sandler
Time: 74 minutes

 


In his latest comedy special, actor and comedian Adam Sandler is in what seems to be a small venue. Being close to the crowd, it gives an intimate feeling to the whole shindig. As for the material itself, it is very uneven. Some of the jokes and songs hit the mark and make you laugh or at least smirk. Some of the stuff, though, felt like filler. The whole show had a very weird and chaotic atmosphere. I think it might had been what they were going for, but it might have scored better with more solid overall material. Like he did with his previous special, Sandler closed with a more touching song about the power of laughter in his life. While it was not as strong as the Farley tribute, it was still quite good.
