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.

350 Days (2018)

 Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Fulvio Cecere
Cast: Bret Hart, Billy Graham, Greg Valentine
Time: 118 minutes


In this documentary, we hear from a various former pro wrestlers who discuss the hectic schedule of life on the road in professional wrestling back in the day. We hear from such names as Bret Hart, Billy Graham, Greg Valentine, Tito Santana, Jimmy Snuka and many more. Here are tales of blood, injuries, drugs and sex.

This was a very interesting documentary film offering a glimpse on a subject matter that has interested me for years. Though the film came out in 2018, some of the stuff felt dated since the participants had died years prior. The archive stuff could have been put in context a little better, especially when it comes to Jimmy Snuka. But, overall, this was still a very good documentary.
