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.

Chelsea Peretti: One of the Greats (2014)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Lance Bangs
Cast: Chelsea Peretti
Running time: 74 minutes



This Netflix comedy special stars stand-up comic and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Chelsea Peretti up on stage in front of a live crowd. For over an hour, she delivers funny and energetic material about being a woman, men and loads of other subjects.

The opening sequence, with Peretti arriving to the gig on a motorcycle and the creepy voice-over discussing the preparation for the show, was a nice touch. On the other hand, during the show itself, the camera would once in a while cut to animals sitting in the crowd or to various characters trying to interfere with the show, and to me that was an annoying distraction that did not add anything to the experience.

That being said, overall, this is a very funny stand-up comedy special.
