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 Maher: Live from D.C. (2014)


Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Troy Miller
Cast: Bill Maher, Michael Moore, Keith Olberman
Time: 61 minutes



After doing a broadcast of Real Time with Bill Maher from a hall in Washington, D.C., the political comic made his way, under police escort, to another theater in the same city to shoot another HBO special, all the while, in the theater, Michael Moore and Keith Olberman were commentating on Maher’s approach and arrival.

In this comedy special shot in 2014, Bill Maher discusses the Obama government, the upcoming midterm elections, the Republicans and his battles with then potential candidate Donald Trump. These are all familiar topics for Maher, but he follows daily events so he always manages to keep it fresh. Most of the material is very solid. This is a good comedy show.
