A Bela e o Paparazzo


Honestamente, tenho visto comédias românticas dos EUA bem piores que esta. Primeiro, e apesar de todos os clichets, o filme até funciona bastante bem. Segundo, não se foca só no casal... e o Nuno Markl é grande :D Terceiro, há algumas piadas de repetição que funcionam muito bem.
Não será a obra prima do século, mas acho que é um passo em frente para o cinema português. Vale a pena os 5€ e o apoio ao cinema tuga :)

Year One


It isn't that funny, but some parts are really hilarious. It's not a must see, but way better than Nacho Libre (the last comedy I regrettably saw with Jack Black).
The part when they meet Abel and Caim is very funny. And the Hebrews that decide to start cutting foreskins are pretty cool too. But it's just a lot of biblical comedy.

Wolfmother - Pilgrim


Sometimes classic rock is just the best. I'll never respect these guys because they blatantly copy Led Zepellin, but I'll still listen to them :P

Billy Talent - 22/01/2010 Coliseu dos Recreios


Bilhetes à pala, não há motivo para não ir. O concerto não foi mau, apesar de não ser nada o meu tipo de som. E se o vocalista consegue disfarçar o timbre irritante nos albums, ao vivo é outra conversa!
Nota positiva para o guitarrista, que podia estar a tocar coisas bem diferentes! E kudos pelo look Johnny Bravo indiano!
Tiveram umas duas centenas de fãs dedicados que ajudaram o espectáculo. E prometeram que voltam... eu já não prometo a mesma coisa! :P

Lie To Me


When you spend 5 days @ home ill, you watch everything you have on your laptop. I had downloaded the first season of Lie to Me, just for curiosity. Loved it: the characthers, the idea behind it, the stories. It's a 13 episode season, so the filler episodes were left out. Recommend it.
I'm biased because I was already a Tim Roth fan, but I recommend this series.

What does Marcellus Wallace Look Like?


Historical!

Nailing your Wife with Nathan Fillion (Castle) & Aria Giovanni


Só o titulo deve trazer alguns visitantes ao blog. É comédia, not XXX.

Orphan


It's meant to be thriller/horror movie, but it didn't work on me. I didn't like this one. Heard a lot of good things about the movie, maybe I had too high expectations. It had more gore than I expected, but gore never makes a movie for me.

Spread


A tale about a manwhore that falls in love in Miami. It's not a "hey it's cool he gets all the girls" movie... it's quite a sad movie. You end up feeling sorry for Ashton Kutcher, so I guess he plays his role well. Not a great movie, but it's entertaining.

PS: Anne Heche does some courageous nude scenes, wouldn't have imagined someone her age and status would be willing to show that much skin.

500 Days of Summer


"AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Bitch"

Weird? That's the way this movie starts off :) It has a kind of "High Fidelity" vibe to it... a great soundtrack, lots of emotions. It is particularly well shot, and both Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel deliver amazing performances.
I have to say I loved this movie! And the ending was just great :) It has been a while since I watched and movie and got this feeling. Totally worth watching :)

Opening theme:

Foi por isto que trabalhei de casa hoje de manhã

Kasabian - Underdog


This Kasabian record is quite better that the old ones! :) And this song is cool... love the distorted guitar! :D

Berserk


I started reading Berserk because it is hugely famous. I checked that it started being published in 1990 and is still going on. The thing is I just couldn't put it down. It's an epic adventure filled with memorable characters, human cruelty, defiance of fate and a lot of violence (physical and psychological).
It tells the tale of a young boy that goes from mercenary to knight to berserk avenger. It's a tale of vengeance and how far are you willing to go to get it.
I read 20 years of manga in 10 days... that's how good it is!

What I do


Decidi partilhar uma pequena parte do que faço no meu dia a dia. Não há informação sensível nem nada que se pareça nessa imagem.
Fiz esse esquema para marcar as posições dos técnicos no terreno, sites, medições, e próximos passos a tomar durante a investigação de atenuação excessiva numa fibra no sul do nosso país.

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen


There is much about this movie that doesn't work... they tuned up the violence, but dummed it down... it seems they got lost between comedy and action, between "for kids", "for teenagers" and "for adults". The robots seem like organic beings now...
The only 2 things going for it: FX and the fact that the robots get a lot more action time. I watched it as if I was watching a comedy.
Pretty sure there will be a third one, tought I don't know what it will be about!

Hadouken! - That Boy That Girl


Estranhamente, e apesar das 1001 vezes que passou a "I've Got a Feeling" dos B.E.P. , foi esta a musica que me ficou na cabeça desta passagem de ano.

Thanks JP

Sherlock Holmes


Was expecting just a regular action movie, but I had a lot of fun. The movie manages to balance perfectly humour, action and seriousness. The acting is SUPERB in my opinion. I was never one to like Jude Law, but his Watson is very good. I'm a fan of Robert Downey Jr.'s work and his Holmes is also very good. Mark Strong delivers an intense Lord Blackwood.
I think one of the strong points of the movie is ambience: the lighting, the dirty environments, the buildings. I didn't know this was a Guy Ritchie movie but should have figured it out when the boxing part came on, as it had a very "Snatch" feeling to it.
Bottom line: funny, and very entertaining. I liked it :) Definitely worth watching!
