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.

Jimmy Carr: Funny Business (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Sam Wrench
Cast: Jimmy Carr
Running time: 62 minutes



In his latest Netflix comedy special, Jimmy Carr is as crude and rude as ever. He may seem proper when you look at his clothing and his appearance, but do not let that fool you: He will either offend you or make you laugh, or both of those things one after the other depending on your particular sensibilities.

Carr offers an avalanche of dirty jokes in Funny Business. The punchlines are raunchy and they come fast, like your mother, as the Brit comedian would probably say. Some of the gags felt a bit old and formulaic, but the great majority of them was great and made me laugh out loud.

If you are easily offended, stay away from anything Jimmy Carr has ever done. If it is not a problem for you, enjoy.
