100 Feet (2008)
How did such a famous actress agree to participate in this film?
It seemed that the story would be good and just haunting, but the movie is extremely bad and out of reality.
The ghost is a super human who can break down the whole house, twist people's bones, drag his ex-wife and throw everything in the air WITHOUT ANY NEIGHBOR HEARING.
The movie is so bad that it feels like a horror from a hundred years ago where people were scared and scared of anything that could be titled supernatural.
And worst of all: in the end, the woman won't even be at peace because she'll spend her whole life as a fugitive. Didn't she think of that as she ran out? It was enough to serve 1 year at home and everything would return to normal freedom, but he preferred to live even worse.
El laberinto del fauno (2006)
If I talk too much I'll end up spoiling it. The thing is to watch too.
It makes a lot of sense when it gets close to the end.
I watched it at the cinema when it was released here in Brazil in 2006. I couldn't take my eyes off the huge screen when I noticed the contrast there hand in hand: the violence of a war and the innocence of a child.
Translated to Brazil as "The Labyrinth of the Faun", the film brings the reality of the Spanish civil war and the fantasy of the dreamy girl Ofélia, of which she is the only one to see a real faun.
Scenes of strong violence and torture interspersed with scenes of children's fantasy and colorful fairies... The film goes from one extreme to the other, not being recommended to "acute frets".
In addition to other strange creatures, the faun represented here does not look like the commonly represented fauns (as it also appears in the Fantasia drawing), it is a mixture of a goat (normal faun) and a tree, without much human resemblance (which raises proposed fantasy).
Directed by the same director of El Espinazo del Diablo, this is certainly Guilhermo del Toro's best work in life.
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
brought me everything I didn't see in Japanese cartoons: culture without fights and really well done animation
This animation from 2001 brought me everything I didn't see in Japanese cartoons: culture without fights and really well done animation.
The story is simple and innocent, but it brings an immense cultural background and extreme detail. From parties to customs, everything is shown without exaggeration and without "throwing it down our throats". You simply delight in the Japanese view of the world without even having to understand it in advance: the animation makes you understand as one of them or introduces you to a new world.
Culture flows harmoniously and enchants anyone. What I saw there was a new world, without any reason to be the strongest warrior I don't know what, without freezing images to save money and much less with a lack of scenery. In fact, the settings and cultural differences are among the factors that drew the most attention.
Microcosmos: Le peuple de l'herbe (1996)
Super love
I remember like it was yesterday the day I watched this beautiful documentary at the cinema. I went with my brother and we arrived almost at the last minute. For me, who am passionate about small beings, the screen of a cinema showing so many macro images was completely indescribable.
Launched in 1996 and translated into Brazil as "Microcosmos: o povo da herb". The documentary produced by the biologist couple Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou is entirely out of the ordinary in terms of "information". There is an opening sentence and nothing else. It's so well put together that it ends up being self-explanatory.
Even if you are disgusted, phobic or anything similar to small animals it is worth watching. Just watching to understand the beauty of it.
Fantasia (1940)
I love!
Owner of the famous scene of Mickey dressed as a wizard stamped on Disney's seals of authenticity, this cartoon was produced in 1940 and kills any "computer animated masterpiece" or any other little 3D production. Whatever it is, it in no way looks like it was made in 1940!
Perfect design for those who are not in the mood to think, just listen to good music accompanied by beautiful images! There is nothing to describe. I watched it in my childhood and I still remember it in every detail.
It caused extreme controversy by having a scene of racism excluded from a sequel, but that is beside the point. Nothing takes away the beauty of the work.
It's not just any feature film, there are no dialogues, but a set of clips with classic songs of great fame.
The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski gave a true invisible show just "giving life" to flowers doing large complex ballets, fauns playing the flute, fish in the midst of evolution, ostriches with slippers and all kinds of other things that would seem to be without any connection. Writing, but very sense assisted.
Ravenous (1999)
Reboot?
"In the 19th century, Captain John Boyd is transferred to the isolated Fort Spencer. Upon arrival, he rescues from death by hypothermia a subject who claims to be the only survivor of an expedition, who survived by having devoured his companions".
It's almost a vampire tale but portraying cannibalism as the "disease".
It's fun if you take everything as a joke. The local indigenous culture around the legend could have been much more explored.
I would really like to see a rewritten reboot of this same story correcting the issues and improving the visual effects and narrative tension. I hope they don't screw it up.
Les yeux sans visage (1960)
Why?
"Génessier (Pierre Brasseur), a celebrated surgeon, has a daughter (Edith Scob) terribly disfigured as a result of a car accident. With the help of assistant Louise (Alida Valli) he kidnaps young girls and transplants their skin to her face. Daughter, trying to rebuild her beauty".
If it's so bad to have a faceless daughter, why leave other living women faceless too? How does the faceless woman herself watch this cool? It is not possible to feel sorry for anyone after seeing the scene of a face being removed from a young woman and the doctor's daughter just standing there watching and waiting for the skin to be hers!
And what the most endless ending was that?
Fractured (2019)
It keeps suspense the whole time
"Driving across the country, Ray (Sam Worthington), his wife and daughter stop at a highway rest area, where the daughter falls and breaks her arm. After a frantic race to the hospital and a confrontation with the nurse, Ray finally can be served".
I liked the movie a lot. It keeps suspense the whole time. It just doesn't have a higher score because it doesn't really have anything else. The plot taking place inside a hospital leaves the atmosphere much more closed to possibilities and ends up dragging the viewer to conclusions that are not necessarily correct. The ending made me a little sad for not being so original, but the whole atmosphere created up to it is quite fruitful.
The Lovely Bones (2009)
look more like a parody of "A What Dreams May Come" (1998)
The context is very interesting, approaching the crime of murder in a superficial way, together with the appearances and camouflages of these criminals in normal society. The main reason for the murders of this monster is pedophilia, which is subtly addressed. As a film adaptation, it lacked a lot of focus on the facts outside that limbo where the girl is. The film is carried by a colorful void and kind of suffocates the central theme of the murder and its aftermath. It had a lot to be a good one if it wasn't so lost in scenes that look more like a parody of "A What Dreams May Come" (1998). Because it was based on a book, it must resemble another film much less and better justify its position as a best seller, but for cinema it was very similar and with much less quality of story.
What discourages me the most about this story is that everything was so poorly resolved and ended up anyway. It looks like a bunch of loose ends that stay loose and the spectator can turn around!
... And it was the dumbest villain death this year!
Ich seh, Ich seh (2014)
I dont no
"After being away for a few days, due to plastic surgery, the mother of two twin boys returns home. However, her children do not believe that the woman with her face covered is really their mother. From then on, nothing will be like before ".
It starts with a beautiful photograph, a very beautiful place and one of the already obvious "surprises" of the film. His suspense is very attention-grabbing, always in anticipation of whether the person wrapped there is really the mother or an imposter. It could have been much better if it didn't appeal to long scenes of torture caused by a child or even that ending appealing to a "supernatural solution". The piracy and sadism were too exaggerated, completely taking away the interest in the central story. I am very afraid of her children!
Cam (2018)
Good
I'm glad they didn't put a subtitle in the name of the movie when translating it into my native language (Brazilian translation craze)!
A very well built suspense and in a world very little explored by films of this genre. I really liked the exploration of technology to create the central theme and it really raises certain questions about image use and personal identity.
If you, like many who complained, didn't understand the ending: she understood that it wasn't a software that obeyed requests and then made her own! That simple. In this film, it is also possible to make a parameter between the "original product" and the "counterfeit", taking into account that users only want the final experience, regardless of whether it was actually given by that person they sought or even by a dead girl .
Mononoke-hime (1997)
I simply indicate too much!
"A prince, in search of a cure, fights a war between the forest and a mining colony. In this adventure he meets Mononoke".
I could believe this movie is newer it's so well done (and it's from the year 1997 with current appearance)!
The story is simple, beautiful and full of oriental culture.
Highly recommend!
It draws a parallel between human-caused deforestation and wildlife. It shows the disappearance of animal gods due to human slaughter and thus leaving all other animals disorganized and irrational.
I need 27 more characters.
I simply indicate too much!
It's beautiful and simple.
:)
Relic (2020)
A thriller about the family. Super delicate when approaching human old age.
Keep in mind that this movie is entirely abstract. The house is nothing more than a representation of the woman in old age, with the sounds of her organism, her forgotten memories inside boxes, the disease in the form of mold climbing through its walls and the countless rooms representing her difficulty in being lost in her own thoughts. . At the end of it all, the poor old woman's body loses its own identity (represented by the skin) and thus becomes just a human corpse without differentiation from the others (vegetative state) having her daughter always around to take care of her and, demonstrating by the stain on her your skin that is aging too and will one day need care. I could write a huge post about every detail of every scene in this amazing movie. If you start watching already understanding that the old house "does not exist", all understanding about it will be expanded beyond what is presented.
Titanic II (2010)
it's going to be a future trash classic!
Everyone knows that the ship was sailing normally when it hit an iceberg... The Titanic II passes a tsunami that sends the iceberg in its direction... In Titanic 3 the iceberg must fall from the sky!
Cool are the wounds from the movie... It looks like a sauce my dad likes to put on his salad.
Their panicked face I'm looking for even now... The sinking ship and the expression is the same from the beginning of the film.
I think all the cliché slow-motion scenes in the world are over... Just missing the jump with explosion in the background.
--
Memorable scene:
"I'm slipping!" (woman hanging from a pipe that is bending under her weight)
"I'm coming to save you" (man hangs onto pipe that was bending, but with extra weight it stopped bending?)
--
The guy is the superhero who solves everything and the movie only shows him... Why didn't they make a biography of the actor instead of this movie?
The performance of the guy pretending to be cold in the drowning at the end deserves a golden raspberry.
Tower of London (1962)
Vincent Price caricatures as usual and now with a funny hair!
"Richard, the Duke of Glocester, wants the throne of England at any cost. So he murders all who dare to cross his path and becomes King Richard III of England, but the ghosts of those who died for that title torment him until he is punished."
Vincent Price caricatures as usual and now with a funny hair!
It's not the real story of this tower, but based on many bizarre facts about it. It's not a surprising story either.
During Richard's whole life he only killed those people? Really? He seems like a very troubled guy, there must have been a lot more than just the ones we've seen killed for him to bother him.
Hereditary (2018)
No
"After the reclusive grandmother's death, the Graham family begins to unravel some things. Even after the matriarch's departure, she remains a shadow over the family, especially her lonely teenage granddaughter, Charlie, for whom she has always held a close bond. Unusual fascination. With a growing terror gripping the house, the family explores darker places to escape the unfortunate fate they inherited."
This movie isn't all that it's cracked up to be. It has beautiful shots confusing moments where the scenery is part real and part miniatures, leaving everything mixed up and never clear. At no point did I believe it was a figment of the characters' imagination, which left the film an obvious cliché of a demonic affair.
There are two questions here: did I need to kill the dog? Needed to end the movie showing naked asses? What a waste of beautiful photography!
In the Heart of the Sea (2015)
Awaken the urge to pee!
The sound of this movie is really good! Wish I had watched it at the movies... Or not! It must be quite frightening to see this whale on the big screen!
Maps, navigation, antiques and beautiful photography! I love ship movies!
Chris Hemsworth is the main without being the main! Huh!? Just watching to understand!
It was the story that inspired Moby Dick but the guy who is writing Moby Dick is here in that movie and writing Moby Dick! Look how crazy! Hahahahaha
Lesson in the first seconds of the film: don't marry a whaler!
In the first appearance of Cilian Muurphy he looks like Clodovil!
If you cut so much rope on a ship, isn't it necessary afterwards?
Despite being a giant brutality, it's cool to see how artisanal whaling worked. Only for the fact that I never understood how 6 people in a small boat slaughtered such an immense being. Unfortunately I believe it still works that way. The first scene where they attack a family of this animal with the couple and the cub is terrible.
Let it be clear: I still hate hunting!
I hate when a movie makes a badass who is good at everything and a cartoon villain who is bad at everything that the goodness is good at.
There was no dirt in that sea water.
There's A LOT of stuff from the Moby Dick story, but this one came before and is almost the same!
You don't need to pay much attention to understand that this story represents animal sentience (the ability of beings to feel sensations and feelings consciously).
I'm a fan of this whale! Loved the story!
Big Fish (2003)
I watched it so much that different people indicated it to me.
Click on the little arrow to see the Spoiler
In the first minutes of the movie (wedding scene) I already disliked him, but I can't judge everything by just a short presentation. I got that feeling of old Forrest Gump or even my dad (I won't go into details).
That's the colorful story of a compulsive liar (or not?). For those who have my history (bag full of lying people) this movie is very uncomfortable! I almost stopped watching halfway through. I'm glad I didn't stop, because at least I liked the bride's story, but that doesn't seem to be enough to save the film... Right after the "most didn't happen" scene... Affe!
It has some colorful and cute scenes, it should please the family in general to pass the time. I honestly didn't like it and I thought Forrest Gump was a lot. People without the problems that I have might quite enjoy this movie and the lesson it contains.
Inferno (2016)
I just left the book story and went to see the movie
Once again seeing Tom Hanks being a washed up Robert Langdon.
It was (up to half) the best film adaptation of a Dan Brown work that included many identical excerpts and direct lines from the book.
Up to the middle of the film it can be considered a satisfactory adaptation, but halfway through changes the entire story of the book. As if we couldn't in any way justify the villain and that's why we're going to make him much worse and empty in the adaptation.
Going back to talking about the film halfway through: it bothers the physiognomy of the characters that has changed too much. All summaries, seams and simplifications are very welcome to undergo a media change. The differences didn't seem so tragic to me, but I missed the historical information and images of important tourist sites present in previous works when adapted.
Added a character just to have a knife fight scene at the end. How useless!
I so wanted to have seen the video made by Bertrand Zobrist in the film adaptation. One of the best things was left out!
They twisted Bertrand Zobrist's plan and took the Sienna Brooks story. Making the two of them just evil villainous assholes. It didn't seem relevant to me to put an actress with the name of Felicity also to have a reference to Sienna's first name in the book since nothing of the character's life is addressed and in this film the character from the book exists so much recreated.
Can't the world handle an ending where the villain did something that was accepted by the World Health Organization in theaters? Okay, but then don't make the story so shallow!
The characters are too physically different (but that's the least of it if you read the spoilers).
I believe that as a film (without being an adaptation that I tried to see after the book) I would not enjoy watching it. The villain's plan became that cliché thing, the floor of the story too and the end where everything is resolved with even more action. Yeah, as an adaptation it was good until halfway through and as a movie I wouldn't want to watch it on other occasions. It's shallow! Very poorly written! I believe that if you don't have the story of the book as a basis, it's not even possible to understand the whole movie! A lot of information was left unexplained.
The Power of One (1992)
That original title makes me think it's a He-man movie!
This film is quite heavy for some people because it crudely portrays the apartheid period. It makes me very angry to see the ignorance that the world has roasted (and a lot still goes through) in relation to prejudice and not knowing how to live in a civilized way.
The protagonist is a hell of an unlucky guy who contributes to the film not having a higher score, making it a huge negative drama with its few good moments. It gets to be quite boring to follow a story with a protagonist having everything come crashing down in his life and still end up walking on a treadmill in the second ending of the film (seriously, they don't move any further from the reference point at the end). If it's an adaptation of a book, it wouldn't have to be so similar to the point that people end up sad like him too to see that everyone he loves is screwed or dies! I understand all the importance of his effort in bringing education to people and thus disseminating knowledge, but could they at least have left the girl he likes alive? This is called adapting!
I recommend it to anyone who wants to know about apartheid, but not as a distraction, as the film ends up being too depressing despite all the good messages.
The Good Place (2016)
I watched all seasons on Netflix
A very good series and well family. With a well-defined beginning, middle and end.
One of the few works that when dubbed does not lose quality and was very well adapted. I highly recommend it even for those who don't like to read subtitles, because it is work that when dubbed does not lose quality and was very well adapted.
It has ups and downs in terms of humor, with great emphasis on the comic Jason (Manny Jacinto) and Janet (D'Arcy Carden). They were the ones that made me laugh the most and keep watching the series even when it had more emotional and moral appeal than humor.
The character Chidi (William Jackson) really made me review the consequences of anxiety, unreasonable guilt and fears. The excess of concerns placed on a single character felt like an exaggerated caricature of me. I learned a lot.
Why did I think the characters leaving had a slightly suicidal-looking edge? This "planned death" got VERY weird!
The ending was a little strange: do all your duties, enjoy everything in life, get bored, give up everything and disappear! And not even strong relationships can last forever, because they get tired. That message was kind of weird at the end... Really having everything in life must be tiring and boring, but this ending was weird even compared to the rest of the series.
I feel like I'm with a new and better version of myself every day since I started watching the series, not because of it, but because of a lot of struggle in that period and that's the moral of the story: build a better version of yourself by evaluating your mistakes (if it's in the official synopsis, it's not a spoiler).
Metalocalypse (2006)
Full of jokes for anyone who's been in a band! Too bad this series didn't come to Brazil!
What a bizarre and sometimes even a little tasteless series, but after episode three it gets really good (especially for those who have experienced metal and played in bands). The sound is very good and that ended up getting me more to watch (it reminds me that I want to watch a series with the sound also good and that I never remember the name, if I remembered I would have watched the whole one). The sound is death but the series is thrash (unfortunate joke!)!
There's something really crazy, far-fetched, too unrealistic, explicit violence and mutilation, and very fanciful situations. Stay warned!
I keep thinking I'm listening to Mike Judge in the episodes! One of the characters has a voice very similar to that of Butt-Head and the style of the drawing is also somewhat reminiscent.
Episode nine of season two is in Brazil... And it's obvious that they treated it like a forest full of Indians! It seems that there is only wild, dangerous and untouched Amazon rainforest or Rio de Janeiro's favelas when it comes to the image of our country in other media that are not national. By the way, in episode five of the fourth season, Brazil comes back and obviously this time it was in Rio de Janeiro, but at least it didn't show favelas! But it reinforced the statement I made days before watching the other episode right at the beginning of this paragraph ¬¬
The characters are visibly based on real musicians. Vocalist Nathan Explosion's resemblance to George CorpseGrinder (Cannibal Corpse) is so extreme as to be unnerving. It's just a sketch of him! Another character that was very similar was Willian Muderface with Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath). I would have put a Cliff Burton there because of the greater popularity of the double bass, but the characters would end up being too similar to each other.
The other characters are not so obvious to recognize because the real people represented are not so caricatured. At first I thought that Skwisgaar using corpse paint was a version of Dead (Mayhem) out of context, later I became suspicious that it wasn't and I looked on the internet that it was supposed to be Alexei Laiho (Children of Bodom) and I can say that I don't remember anything. With effort it can be noted that Toki is Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah) beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem in the oldies and Pickles I had to research to find out who it was about Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad) with very different hair color and part above (no bald head appears as in the drawing below). I believe that these last two could be a more memorable guitarist and drummer within metal, because it took work to know who it was and not all the musicians chosen to be characterized are from death, so they really could have more unique physiognomy.
They have a former guitarist named Magnus Hammersmith who had times when I saw Serj Tankian's face from System of a Down mixed with someone familiar and older it obviously showed that it was a reference to Tom Araya from Slayer.
He had the right to a bass solo made with his penis, jokes about the bass player not composing or making a difference in the band, musician who can't read sheet music and lyrics about coffee!
Too bad the end was all musical, but it was awesome. It closed the entire story and paved the way for a possible sequel!
It ends in an isolated episode in a new season and much longer than the others (it still doesn't complete 1 hour) called The Doomstar Requiem which is a crazy metal opera closing the whole story. That is, this here is the end of the series and not another isolated thing as it is shown in many places. This episode also had their songs officially released on an album, just as the fictional band has real albums and even a concert. I still don't like musicals, so this last episode started to annoy me halfway through. I was strong to finish the story (since I liked it a lot).
I'll be quite honest when I say that I really liked the band's sound and especially episode four of the first season (which was the best season and the reason for such a happy evaluation), eighteen of the second, second of the third... Then I'll end up quoting one mount... The first season is very funny, the second season is not so good, but the third comes back with everything and the instrumental of the fourth season gets better and better (peak so far in the guitar of episode four of the fourth season)!
Os episódios são bem curtos (em média dez minutos) e isso faz com que a série possa ser assistida em vários por vez. Separei um tempo para assistir um só sem saber que era tão curta e acabei de início assistindo alguns seguidos. Gostei tanto que assisti até o episódio dez no mesmo dia (não seguido, mas poderia ser!) e foi justamente o que tinha mais referências!
As always there are some problems: in general, women are not relevant or are groupies. The series is too macho, but metal was too macho at the time it was created. Beeeeem in the last few episodes we see a very subtle change in things. But there ends the series! I believe that if they had more seasons, this would evolve together, just as the genre today encompasses great female talent.
I believe that anyone who likes and knows the history of metal will like it too. I lost count of how many bands were referenced in all! Each episode I caught an average of 4 or 5 references to bands, phrases from songs or products. I could even quote each one of each episode, but here comes a youtuber copies the list and reads it in a video to earn money from it. So nooooooo!!!
Kill List (2011)
What the hell is this movie???
In the first TWENTY MINUTES OF THE MOVIE there is nothing! Then it evolves into a movie that doesn't say anything about the content of it, changes to guys killing around, changes to some crazy people, changes to crazy people being crazy, changes to the guy being crazy, changes to complete crazy and ends! One thing without paying attention to the other and leaving that feeling of lost time.
I just might not have understood anything!
"After having failed in a mission, an assassin for hire receives another proposal to kill two people. What starts as a simple job can lead to great dangers". And nothing came of.
Alfred Packer: The Musical (1993)
The film treats in a comic way the case of an American tried for cannibalism in an unforgettably bizarre musical
"Alferd Packer was a mountain guide and sole survivor of a party of pioneers that got lost in the mountains in winter. Accused and convicted of murdering and eating his travelling companions, he was to be executed by hanging. The movie begins at his trial, where he pleads his innocence to an unsympathetic audience. Only reporter Polly Pry will listen to his story, which is then related to the viewers in the form of flashbacks. As Packer and his gold-prospecting clients make their way through the forests and mountains, they encounter bemused Japanese Indians, an unimpressed group of mountain men and the brutal Rocky Mountain winter, all of which inspire the travellers to break out into song and dance".
The film treats in a comic way the case of an American tried for cannibalism in an unforgettably bizarre musical.
I cried laughing with this one. Too bad it doesn't have English subtitles!
For those who like South Park, this is one of the first works by the same director and has some good similarities.
Bambi (1942)
This cartoon is basically a study of the lives of deer
"In the heart of the forest, all the animals are excited by the birth of a deer named Bambi. The pup soon earns the title of prince of the forest, as his father is the most important deer in the region. Bambi grows up, makes friends with other animals from the forest, learns to survive and discovers love. On this journey of maturity, he realizes that, even in the midst of tragedies, it is possible to be strong and see the beauty of life".
This cartoon is basically a study of the lives of deer. The making of it makes clear the amount of studies involved to make the story as close as possible to the reality of these animals. Watch with less prejudice and more attention.
