Animation for You 2008-09-12 11:46:00 Today I have some tasty animation tidbits for whoever appreciates the intricacies of character expression and meaninful narrative. Over the years I have dived into the internet sea of amateur animation on numerous occasions, and though the results have been discouraging at times, a little patience can help separate the wheat from the chaff.First I'd like to mention John Kricfalusi and his blog, th Read more:Animation
Casino (Martin Scorsese) 2008-09-08 15:36:00 Casino foi um filme que me fez pensar sobre a natureza humana, distorcidas e ironicas as nossas acções por coisas futeis. Há três personagens espectaculares, todos viciados em dinheiro, todos com maneiras diferentes de consegui-lo, e gastá-lo. Interessante é o simples facto de ninguem parecer ser inocente. Pelo menos à primeira vista, está tudo no jogo e no "business".É incrivel a violên Read more:Casino

School of Rock 2004-10-15 22:12:00 Portuguese Version:
Epá, o Jack Black é hilariante. O filme vale a pena só para ver as macacadas do homem. O enredo? não é nada de especial. Mas atenção que algumas cenas são de boa qualidade, eu fartei-me de rir. Já não me lembro do quê.

Hey, Jack Black is hilarious. The movie is worth watching just to see his antics. The plot is so-so. But some scenes I had to see ov Read more:School
Underworld 2004-10-13 20:28:00 Portuguese version:
Merda.
Ponto de intresse: a batalha final é exactamente igual a uma luta WWF daqueles falso que aparecem na televisão periodicamente.
versão Inglesa:
Shit.
Point of intrest: the final battle looks exactly like a WWF fight.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence 2004-10-13 20:09:00 Portuguese version:
Este filme é, tal como o primeiro GITS, uma verdadeira obra prima do realizador Mamoru Oshii. A nível visual, houve um upgrade desde a prequela para uma combinação CGI (computer generated imagery) e manga tradicional, está impecável. Têm que ver para acreditar. A banda sonora está muito bom, Kenji Kawai faz um excelente trabalho na ambientação e majestia sonora. O GIT Read more:Ghost

Ghost in the Shell 2004-10-13 19:45:00 Portuguse version:
Este filme é daqueles que eu quero ver mais do que três vezes. A nível de história está muito bem construída, mas difícil de acompanhar à primeira. O visual "manga" também é muito original, com um ambiente escuro à la Blade Runner, sem aquelas mariquices e caretas conhecidas do Dragon Ball, Pokémon, etc. Atenção que Ghost

foi feito ANTES do Matrix, e

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) 2008-09-29 13:22:00 What's the worst you can imagine? Before the Devil
Knows You're Dead is going to challenge it. Through a nasty sequence of coincidences we watch the destruction of several lives, all derived from the characters' own willingness to descend into chaos.The concept is driven by numerous flashbacks over the plot timeline, which revolves around the robbery of a jewelry store. The viewer is given little

Smokin' Aces (2007) 2008-09-16 11:50:00 Em PortuguêsThis movie isn't about refined filming techniques, or fancy computer generated special effects. It's about envolving narrative and compelling character development. I really didn't expect it to "wow" me in technical aspects, and expectations are everything when viewing any sort of entertainment, I just sat back for the show, which I highly recommend.Joe Carnahan directs the movie in a Read more:Smokin
Smokin' Aces (2007) - Português 2008-09-16 11:23:00 O filme não se trata de técnicas de filmagem refinadas, nem de grandes efeitos especiais gerados por computador. Trata-se de narrativa envolvente e desevolvimento de personagens credível. Não esperei que me espantasse em termos de aspectos técnicos, e expectativas são tudo quando se vê qualquer tipo de arte visual, e apenas sentei-me para trás para ver o espectaculo, que recomendo.Joe Carn Read more:Smokin
