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.

Ralphie May: Unruly (2015)

 
Genre: Comedy
Directed by: John Asher
Cast: Ralphie May 
Running Time: 83 minutes

 


In this first Netflix comedy special of late comedian Ralphie May, the comic delivered a long raunchy set in front of a crowd that was up for his brand of shenanigans. Here, May talks about sex, about racism, about having kids and about many other topics.

I had heard about Ralphie May from a podcast, where another comedian was praising May’s work. So when I saw that special on Netflix, I decided to check it out. It took me a while to get into it, but, by the end, I enjoyed a good portion of it. There were a lot of good jokes, but a lot of weaker ones too. Since I am overweight myself, I would be allowed to make a trimming the fat joke regarding the material in this special, but, since May passed a few years later, I will refrain.

About that, it was bittersweet to see Ralphie May being joined on stage at the end by his wife and kids, since he would pass away a couple of years later, leaving them behind.
