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.

The Rolling Stones: Sweet Summer Sun - Hyde Park Live (2013)

 Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Paul Dugdale
Cast: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts
Running Time: 121 minutes

 


In 1969, The Rolling Stones played in Hyde Park, in London. It was a pivotal moment for the band. Brian Jones had just died and it was Mick Taylor’s debut on stage with them. In 2013, to end the tour celebrating their 50 years anniversary, The Stones played the same venue. For two hours, they rocked a large crowd. Mick Taylor even joined them on stage.

 You can hardly go wrong with a Rolling Stones concert. On top of the list of great songs performed, it was cool to see Taylor perform with the band again. And it was nice to hear in voice-over, from the band members, about the significance of Hyde Park for the band. Loved it.
