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.

Gabriel Iglesias: I'm Sorry for What I Said When I Was Hungry (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Manny Rodriguez
Cast: Gabriel Iglesias
Running time: 80 minutes



Gabriel Iglesias AKA Fluffy was back at it again last year, in 2016, with another Netflix special titled I’m Sorry for What I Said When I Was Hungry. In this latest stand-up comedy show, filmed in Chicago, the American comic of Mexican heritage discusses his family, taco trucks, his culture, raising children and much more. My favorite bit remains the follow-up to the racist gift basket routine.

Iglesias is relatively clean in his comedy. Sure, there are a few cuss words here and there, but overall, he is much tamer than many others. Fluffy has a great knack for storytelling. His routine tends to get self-congratulatory at times, which annoys me a bit, but, all things considered, this is another comedy show that made me laugh real hard. Fluffy knows how to pull you into his stories and keep you entertained.
