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.

Rob Schneider: Asian Momma, Mexican Kids (2020)

 

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Tyler Spindel
Starring: Rob Schneider, Elle King
Running time: 44 minutes

 


Live on stage in front of a crowd, SNL alumni, actor and comedian Rob Schneider talks about such topics as the recent accusations of sexual misconduct against multiple men, his family history and his life with his wife and kids.

Going in, I did not expect much, as Rob Schneider’s acting and standup career is not the hottest out there. That being said, what is offered here is funny material delivered quite well. I laughed out loud many times. The biggest issue is that, like Schneider, it was quite short. All joking aside, this comedy special was a little short indeed. It ended on a very strong note though, with a musical duet with the comedian and his daughter Elle King. Their rendition of In Dreams was beautiful and touching.
