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.

Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon (2022)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Andre Relis
Cast: Doug Aldrich, Frankie Banali, Kevin DuBrow
Time: 85 minutes

 


Many rock music fans, I included, consider Randy Rhoads to be nothing less than a guitar god. In this documentary, we have a look at his youth, his start with Quiet Riot, his rise to fame as part of Ozzy Osbourne’s band and his untimely death in a plane crash. Through recent interviews with those who knew him and archived footage, we find out a lot more about this guitar hero that was loved by many and is still missed by music fans to this day.

Some musical material from the Ozzy period was missing here, due to some rights issues, which is unfortunate. The sound of the documentary was not optimal either. But, as for the material itself, if was interesting and very informative.
