Na quinta-feira 2006–06–22, uma das persianas cá de casa deixou de elevar-se/baixar-se, por meio da manivela que serve para o efeito – suspeitei que tivesse rompido o cabo de aço que faz a ligação do mecanismo da manivela ao rolo da persiana. Não me senti à altura da tarefa, que poderia envolver – consoante o [...]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0421994/ Where to start? This is a very simple movie, about an unexpected lesbian love. There is absolutely nothing new about the theme, but “Imagine Me and You”, is very well executed: beautiful actresses, great acting, effective music, the right pace and a constant show of fine aesthetics. My rating: 6/10 Imagine Me & You [...]

I watched yet another awful Formula 1 race, this time at Silverstone.There were no overtaking maneuvers! Because of this, from my point of view, there was no real race. Instead, there was a slow, boring, parade of déjá vu cars. I remember the Turbo days and the way Mansell’s Williams Honda S’sssed the fastest Silverstone corners, [...]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0408985/ Surprisingly fresh movie with a relatively exotic cast and no special effects! The plot is about Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah), a saleswoman who loves cooking. Georgia learns that she is about to die, due to a rare disease, so she decides to burn all her savings, in a few days. While doing so, she [...]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0382810/ Little Fish’s first minutes are promising: splendid photography, appropriate music and Cate Blanchett playing Tracy Heart – an ex-drug (ab)user, now wanting to run her own “Internet cafe” business, but having big trouble financing it. Sam Neill is in, and the film endures for nearly two hours… somehow, all this mix made me expect [...]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0375912/ Complicated plot, cliché crammed, and yet “interesting”. I have misc feelings regarding Layer Cake: if there were fewer, but better developed, characters; fewer and more original killings; and less underlying sub-plots, then this could have been a huge achiever. Let me start at the end: in order to build the characters as the time [...]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0190138/ Effective comedy: Nick, a dentist married with a very demanding Sophia, welcomes his new neighbour: Jimmy “The Tulip”, a famous contract killer, played by Bruce Willis… Sophia (Rosanna Arquette) convinces Nick to try to sell the info regarding the whereabouts of Jimmy, and that is when a big confusion emerges. An alternative title could [...]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387898/ I read on this movie’s poster “like Hitchcock, only creepier”… the thing is that I found nothing “creepy” on Caché… and while “creepy” is very subjective, stating “like Hitchcock” should be more tangible, like being possible to identify similar plots on Hitchcock’s. Not that I know a lot about Alfred’s work, but I can’t [...]
