As I said in New Sub-Categories, I have added the Personalities sub-category, with this as a first post. Robert Downey Jr. is one of my favorite actors of all time. I don't know who is on the first place on my list (and be sure I have a list), and doesn't matter anyway. Here will also be presented opinions on actors I don't particularly like. A category, pardon me, a sub-category will be created with actresses, with the next post featuring one of them. [pics on this post are from imdb] … [Read more...]

Me, Myself and Irene
Me, Myself & Irene is the best Jim Carrey movie I've seen. I can say without too much fuss that I'm not quite mad about Jim Carrey's style, but here, he was exceeding his talents. He has an extraordinary mimic, and he can move like some would be dancers who train years to do the same. One can think they're tricks, and effects has been added to his face, only this sudden change of mimic as he's another person altogether became Carrey's trade mark. [all pics are from imdb] Unrealistic … [Read more...]
Pan Nalin’s Samsara
Recently I had the opportunity and great pleasure to finally sea a movie that makes instantly my top 10. Samsara, an epic spiritual adventure, a metaphor. There are not enough words to describe this beautiful movie, so I'm not going to disclose much of it, but you have to know what was written on imdb: A spiritual love-story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh, Himalayas. Samsara is a quest; one man's struggle to find spiritual Enlightenment by renouncing the world. And one woman's … [Read more...]
Elite Squad 2
Elite Squad 2 (Portuguese: Tropa de Elite 2 – O Inimigo Agora é Outro; literal: Elite Troop 2: Now the Enemy Is Another One) is a 2010 Brazilian film directed and produced by José Padilha, starring Wagner Moura. The other actors appeared somehow in the other film as well, some are new here. It is a sequel of the 2007 movie The Elite Squad. Elite Squad: The Enemy Within is a continuation of the semi-fictional account of the BOPE (Portuguese: Batalhão de Operações Policiais Especiais), the Special … [Read more...]
Tropa de Elite
Tropa de Elite or Elite Squad, as sounds the English translation, is a Brazilian action movie, one of the best ever made. The international critic is almost for the first time in agreement. It has an 8.0 imdb rate, a very big one. The Elite Squad was an outstanding commercial success, and became a cultural phenomenon in Brazil. The film won the Golden Bear at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival. Its sequel, The Elite Squad - The Enemy Within, released in Brazil on October 8, 2010, holds industry … [Read more...]
The Namesake
It's a long time since I wanted to talk about this wonderful movie. Only a 7.4 imdb rate, this is one of the outstanding Mira Nair's creations. I think I'll review all of her movies, one by one, but not right now and not quite in order. This here is an adaptation with a screenplay masterfully transgressed on the screen by Sooni Taraporevala. The actors are perfectly chosen, the directing does full justice to Jhumpa Lahiri's novel. Kal Penn (as Gogol), Tabu (as Ashima), Irrfan Khan (as Ashoke), … [Read more...]
