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.

Joe Rogan: Triggered (2016)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Anthony Giordano
Cast: Joe Rogan
Running time: 63 minutes



Last summer, Joe Rogan took the stage of The Fillmore (San Fransisco) by storm and took no prisoners has he launched into an hour long comedic assault on a crowd that seemed to enjoy every second of it.

In Triggered, Rogan discusses drugs, politics, raising children, Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashians and the difference between men and women. The American comic does not skate around any issue and he does not stay on the surface; he delves right in, without a single fear of saying things the way he sees them. That is truly refreshing, in this era of political correctness. I particularly loved the way he exposed how we often sacrifice efficiency and quality in the name of equality.

The comedic style of Joe Rogan is right up my alley as a fan. It is edgy, it is raw, it is a little angry; it is roaringly funny. No punches are pulled, which is not surprising considering Rogan is also involved in the world of MMA. I’m sure it will not be everybody’s cup of tea, but, in my book, it deserves nothing but full marks.
