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: Bridges to Babylon Tour "97-98 (1998)

Genre: Musical
Directed by: Bruce Gowers
Cast: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts
Time: 120 minutes


 

Live in TWA Dome in St. Louis, Missouri, we witness here the young Rolling Stones — well, relatively young, as they were in their mid-fifties at this point — giving an enthusiastic crowd a raucous set of around 2 hours, performing a good chunk of their classic material, along with some songs that were new back in 1997-1998.

This is not the best Stones concert I have seen on my film, but it is still a badass, fun show. The band was tight. Though I am not the biggest Dave Matthews fan, it was cool to see him join Jagger for Wild Horses. They gave a heartfelt performance of the classic track. The set for Bridges to Babylon was magnificent. Seeing the band cross a tall bridge to reach a smaller stage in the midst of the crowd was cool. Lots of female undergarments went a-flying at that point.
