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.

Dave Attell: Road Work (2014)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Scott Gawlik
Starring: Dave Attell
Running time: 60 minutes



In this stand-up comedy TV special from 2014, we see Dave Attell at work on the road, in various comedy clubs across the Unites States. Going from Louisiana to Minnesota, the American comic shares his own brand of filthy and dirty humor, to the delight of the small crowds on hand in each spot.

Being a fan of stand-up comedy and having been in a few comedy clubs over the years, I could really feel the energy of those crowds watching Attell at work in intimate settings. The editing was really well done and the movement from one place to another was seamless. That kind of quick pace fitted nicely with the edgy content.

Dave Attell’s comedy stylings will not be everyone’s cup of tea. It is politically incorrect to the max. Personally, I love it. The content is made of dark humor and the delivery is deliberate. Attell does not waste time on long stories, he keeps the punches coming at a fast pace. In the end, he left me wanting more. That was the only issue I found with Road Work: Too short. Still definitely worth watching.
