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.

Bill Hicks: Sane Man (1989)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Kevin Booth and David Johndrow
Cast: Bill Hicks
Running time: 81 minutes



Bill Hicks was not your typical comedian that alternates rapidly through setups and punchlines at a rapid pace through a nice little set. Hicks challenged the norms and did things his way. In this rare live show of his caught on tape, recorded on stage in Austin Texas, the late comic discusses drugs, tobacco, alcohol, music, pop culture and a multitude of other topics.

If you are a sensitive soul who gets easily offended, Bill Hicks is not for you. If you prefer clean cut comedy, again, Bill Hicks is not for you. Hicks took no prisoners. Some of his antics did annoy me a bit, but he made me laugh and think a whole lot, and I found myself agreeing with much of what he said. Sometimes, only the names will change, but the feelings remain the same.
