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.

Bob Saget: That Ain't Right (2007)


Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Beth McCarthy-Miller
Cast: Bob Saget
Time: 60 minutes



Live on stage in Manhattan, New York, comedian Bob Saget delivers a comedy special that is thousands of miles apart from the roles he is most known for, as Danny Tanner on Full House and as host of American Funniest Home Videos. Saget refers to these roles in this stage act, while also discussing sex and other topics.

Bob Saget gives me the impression of a guy who is trying to be vulgar for effect, just to shock at all costs. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. He just rambles on and on without any cohesiveness to hold it all together. There were a few good jokes and the songs he sang at the end, accompanying himself on guitar, were quite good. I recommend finding these excerpts online and skipping the rest.
