My name is Claudio Carvalho, I am engineer and economist, and I was born and live in Rio de Janeiro.

I will no longer write in IMDb. If you want to read my reviews in Portuguese or English, or contact me, visit my Blog dos Maníacos por Filme (see the link below). IMDb has become unbearable. Actually, is an asshole that declines and deletes my reviews.

Inclusive this person has blocked me in IMDb Community.

It seems that there is no supervision in IMDb and any asshole that has a beef with an user may decline or delete his submissions without any reason.

I would like to thank you my readers and followers.


Bio

My hobby is watching and collecting movies on VHS and DVD. On 17 June 2003, I found the IMDB site through an indication of a friend. My first review was " Anazapta" and since then, when I finish watching (or re-watching) a movie, I write my personal opinion about it.

I am eclectic, but my genre number 1 is horror. I see between 800 and 900 movies per year, including TV series.

My favorite movie is "Casablanca" and it is hard to point out my favorite director, actor and actress. I usually do not read any review before seeing a movie, in order to be not influenced by the critics.

I am trying to list my favorite movies alphabetically ordered, but this list may change:

• Abre los Ojos;

THESE DAYS...

Presently (2023), I am very disappointed with IMDb, since my honest review of one episode of The Last of Us is being deleted or declined by the presente IMDb Editors.

I really regret to use this site on the present days, that accept one-line reviews and delete honest reviews.

Maybe that is why many old fellow-reviewers from IMDB left this site for good.

All reviews that I write nowadays are declined first and only later they are accepted, without any modification.

Probably I will stop submiting anything to this site (Reviews, Synopsis, Corrections etc.)
