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: Hot and Fluffy (2007)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Manny Rodriguez
Cast: Gabriel Iglesias
Running time: 60 minutes



Taking the stage in Bakersfield, California, for his first comedy special, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias went into the kind of routine we have come to know him for: stories, impressions, voices and the likes. In Hot and Fluffy, he discusses his family, drinking, parties, strip clubs, the police and other topics.

Iglesias is a great storyteller. He has a wonderful knack for pulling you in and weaving a tale that will entertain you. His big fault, to me, and he does it all the time, is that he takes you out of the story at times to tell you that these things happen for real and he’s not BSing. We don’t care, just tell the story.

That being said, this is a very funny show.
