Confessions of a Superhero

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Este é um filme documentário (trailer) sobre o Super-Homem, a Mulher-Maravilha, o Incrível Hulk e o Batman. Nas ruas de Los Angeles. Esbarrei com este documentário no Hulu e recomendo vivamente. Há gente realmente doentia. Mas é cada personagem, que até dói. A banda sonora é excelente.

Grand Torino

Grand Torino

Grand Torino (trailer) is a great and amazing movie. With 78 years-old, Clint Eastwood still knows how to tell a story and be an exceptional actor. It will make you laugh, cry, happy or sad. It all depends of you, but everybody will learn something about Death & Life. I thought nobody used to make movies like this anymore. I was wrong.

Step Brothers

You’re right pal. Step Brothers is bloody hilarious. I’m still laughing.

Get Smart, the movie

Good gags, but very disappointing.

Great game, good movie.

Planet Terror & Death Proof

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Por esta ordem, tal como os vi ontem. Robert Rodriguez Planet Terror kicks ass. Death Proof, apesar dos diálogos made in Tarantino e do Deus Kurt Russel leva um suficiente+. E por falar no RusselSnake Plissken, deu-me vontade de rever o Escape from New York.

Hulu what?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Hulu is a new VoD (Video on Demand) service banked by NBC and News Corporation with the sole purpose of competing with YouTube. Yeah, right. Competing with Youtube? At least Google will not have to worry about competition outside US. Just signed up today for a beta account and guess what, I can’t see none of all the decent series I like. Not even the A-Team! What a useless crap. You know NBC, the reason Youtube and Bittorrent got so popular is because the Internet and TCP/IP don’t have a flag and a region set like DVD. It’s the Internet. Everybody is connected. The world is connected. Why a guy in Sweden or in Thailand can’t watch your series or even buy them? I’m not a pro-piracy guy, I understand that you’re running a business, the episodes costs a lot of money but you’re not understanding the new digital media paradigm and the internet as a new channel of distribution. If you don’t get this, well, Google and Apple do. “Watch your favorites. Anytime. Anywhere”. You must be kidding me. So long, Hulu.

Digital Russian Rights Management

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

iTunes store not available at your country? Don’t like the hassle of Bittorrent? Want to buy DiVX/DVD, VCD and iPod movies DRM-free? Don’t worry, try ZML.com, they’re selling downloadable movies starting from $1.99. And if you have a problem giving your Visa card to a russian site, for a little more you can pay by SMS and you don’t even have to give your e-mail to them. The download speed is kind of slow from my home dsl but from my co-located servers it’s a snap. Globalization is not that good for MPAA, I presume.

300

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Os puristas já zurziram que o 300 fica a milhas do Sin City. Pois embora reconheça que esta liga é diferente, este 300 recomenda-se e bem. E querem diálogos para quê, num filme de Espartanos?

Renaissance

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

renaissance-2.jpg

Quem gosta de cinema de animação e ainda não viu este filme francês, não sabe o que perde. Demorou sete anos a ser feito, é todo, todinho a preto&branco, com uma técnica revolucionária e uma história bem contada. Renaissance (trailer) é uma mistura de film-noir, Blade Runner e Sin City. Mas não se deixem enganar, o facto de ser a p&b não invalida do filme ser todo em 3D e com uma qualidade que é impressionante. Além de que há certas partes que são completamente inovadoras, sobretudo a forma como conseguiram jogar com os contrates em ambientes nocturnos, do dia, diálogos e a chuva, para não dizer do resto. Obrigatório!

A Night at the Opera

O Marx que eu gosto. Um verdadeiro clássico de 1935 e um dos melhores filmes dos irmãos Marx (a seguir ao Duck Soup, pois claro). Fica aqui a memorável quote (tem muitas mais) de Groucho:

You’re willing to pay him a thousand dollars a night just for singing? Why, you can get a phonograph record of Minnie the Moocher for 75 cents. And for a buck and a quarter, you can get Minnie.
