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.

Bon Jovi: This Left Feels Right (2004)

Genre: Musical
Directed by: Anthony M. Bongiovi
Cast: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres, David Bryan
Time: 108 minutes


 

Recorded live in a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, this concert followed the release by Bon Jovi of their album called This Left Feels Right. On this album, they revisit some of their hits with new arrangements. In most case, sadly, the reinvention is not successful. This show has somewhat of an acoustic feel to it, which is not a bad thing, but most of the versions pale so much in comparison to the originals track that it is hard not to be disappointed. There a few bright spots, such as Wanted Dead or Alive and the cover of Dr. Hook’s Sylvia’s Mother, but, by the end, I just wanted this show to end.
