Resting Place (1986 TV Movie)
10/10
A Brilliant Movie
30 September 2019
A powerful movie shows a unique situation where there was a collective error of people, and goes beyond, also shows a degrading action of racism, something meaningless, a movie that is big and teaches, shows a story that we kept our mouths open, a moving situation that brings us new unexpected situations. A movie I did not know and surprised me, I thought it was great!

The filmmaker is the American, John Korty (1936), I did not know him, but now I became a fan, I want to see more of his works, made many films for TV, stopped directing films in 2009, made a documentary: Miracle in a Box : A Piano Reborn, and rather to TV movies: A Gift of Love: The Daniel Huffman Story (TV Movie 1999). I highlight these films more: The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974) Farewell to Manzanar (1976) Who Are the DeBolts? and Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids? (1977). The protagonist is the great American actor John Lithgow (1945), starred among others in: Total Risk (1993), Love is Strange (2014) and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (1984). Morgan Freeman, (Invictus 2009) plays an important role too, appears little, but brightens up this movie that I liked too much.

Did Not Like!
30 July 2019
I found it too boring and very confusing. Wow, what a horrible trash movie, there are even some cool scenes, but nothing, I hated it !!! I think it showed the follies of the time, but I found the plot very crazy and for me it was meaningless. Wow.

The filmmaker is the American Quentin Tarantino, who directed among others: Hound Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction: Time of Violence (1994), The Hated Eight (2015) and A Drink in Hell (1996). Protagonists, we have American actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who did among others: The Origin (2010), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and Titanic (1997). Another protagonist is also the American actor Brad Pitt, who did among others: Mr. & Mrs. Smith John Smith (2005), The 12 Monkeys (1995), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008).

Great Situations About the Horror of War
31 January 2019
So a film that holds you because it has details that surround you, it is quite natural, because the person has its ups and downs, trying to survive in very difficult times. It is very cool the dynamics, sometimes unexpected things happen, it is cool to see and your story is quite possible and a little crazy!

The plot is about moments before the irreversible German invasion in France and the various situations and choices of various people before the eminent enemy. It is a festival of situations, of catching the breath. Liked it!

The filmmaker is German Christian Petzold, I do not know his films, but I will mention a few: Phoenix (2014), Barbara (2012) and Toter Mann (2001). The protagonist is also the German, Franz Rogowski, he also made films I do not know, such as these: Victoria Boxer (2015), In den Gängen (2018) and Love Steaks (2013). The whole story unfolds around him, great acting.

Great Espionage Movie
13 September 2018
Film too good, those that you expect, espionage and terrorism, a lot of lies, but who cares, the legal is the dynamics and the plot that leads you to live these movements a little, from us against them. More lie, how to face everything alone, but it was our Resident Evil that already went through this and more, wow !!!! I liked it and recommend it, who wants to see a great spy movie !!!!

Action Overflowing!
1 September 2018
A film that has ups and downs, but it has a cinematography that impresses, is animal, full of movements, without happy ending, what frustrates me, wow, but cool, a very fast movie, it seems that we are in a race, an hour we find that ended and continues, always changing everything, wow, cool!

The filmmaker is the Chinese director Gao Xixi and television producer, famous for directing a number of Chinese TV series commercial success, made few long.

The Meg (2018)
10/10
Great Fun!
31 August 2018
Good movie, recreates a little of what Spielberg's film was in 1975, and does what I think is the main reason for cinema, fun. It's a much more liar movie than the original, here we have a "Mega Shark", a King Kong of the waters. A movie with great cinematography that enchants. I recommend.

The filmmaker is the American Jon Turteltaub, who directed among others, The Legend of the Lost Treasure (2004 and 2007) and (2007), Phenomenon (1996). The protagonist is the well-known English actor, Jason Stathan, who has done among others, Adrenalina (2006), Fast & Furious 7 (2015) and Spy Who Knew Less (2015).

Dangerous and Strange World
27 August 2018
I consider it a classic, a success at the time it was released. A unique movie, something very possible to happen in our days, give a little hesitation or even be deceived and "Bum" your world transforms and you can stay in a limit situation. What a movie, not much goes on here, but you do not breathe, it's a torture, a waterfall of emotions. Uauuuuu, what a movie, howling! And even more because it is based on a true story, what a world we live in, a movie alert to care when we go around the world.

The filmmaker is the Englishman Alan Parker, of many unforgettable films such as Mississippi in Flames (1988), Wings of Freedom (1984), Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982), Fama (1980) .The protagonist is Brad Davis, 1991, among others did: The Midnight Express (1978), Chariots of Fire Chariots of Fire (1981) and Querelle (1982).

Thilher Very Creative
27 August 2018
A good police film, not a great one, but it has its footprint and holes, I liked it, if you want a good police and thief movie here has one. There are some great actors. Recommended!

Great Reflections
28 July 2018
A historical film and incredible actions. I found it well told, but it did not have the glamor, I think it lacked enchantment. Our great director making a movie against your style. In that being, I think it is a given step, we must have other productions. But we had this record of dreamy actions by young people who went down the wrong path. This movie brings great reflections.

The filmmaker is the brilliant Brazilian José Padilha, who is working in the mega cinema, in the country Hollywood, this director innovated and agitated our cinema with his current films and police genre, he made the great Elite Troop 1 and 2 (2006 and 2019), also did in Hollywood, which I liked too last Roboccop (2014) and the current story that shook our country, Federal Police, The Law Is For All (2017), which became a series of Netfilx, called Mechanism ( 2018), great too, let's wait for the new sequences of it. As protagonists we have the great Rosamund Pike the English actress, who has done among other Exemplary Girl (2014) and Pride & Prejudice (2005) and also has an actor who I really like the Spanish Daniel Brühl who made among other Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Goodbye, Lenin! (2003).

The Artist Who Revolutionized the Rio Carnival
20 June 2018
The story of a great Brazilian carnival artist, this story tells the story of Joaquin Trinta, who revolutionized the Rio carnival, the parades of samba schools would never be the same again. This film plunges into your life and shows you your step by step to do the actions that brought a unique visual spectacle in the world, this is brought to the cinema in an engaging and emotionally charged way. I recommend it, see this story. The filmmaker is Paulo Machline from São Paulo who made a very special film called The Eternal Son (2016) about a father's relationship with the birth of his son with Dow Syndrome. The protagonist is Matheus Nachtergaele actor, a well-known "caipira" actor, who is in full activity in the cinema, has in his curriculum among others Auto da Compadecida in 2000, Red Carpet in 2005 that makes the biography of filmmaker Mazzaropi and also made a movie which I liked called Serra Pelada in 2013.

Elite Squad (2007)

The Police of Rio de Janeiro
20 June 2018
One of the most successful Brazilian thrillers, the director masterfully reproduced the horrors of Rio de Janeiro police. Visualize how idealistic and corrupt people like all the places they are analyzing. And like in the movies and here we are hoping for the good side to win, but sometimes the good side is not good at all, then everything is complex. The best movie that shows in real and real way how the crime of this city, with beautiful landscapes and a scary underworld. May the good conquer, we hope here and in life. Do not neglect this plot is exciting and engaging. The filmmaker is José Padilha, a Rio who achieved the success of the film, made his sequel in 2010, with success and success, it was time for the Rio de Janeiro militiamen, troubled with an exposition of their actions in the moving and their work in the American cinema, Hollywood, from the mission and the working in the gymnastics of Hollywood, Hollywood, and that was called to remote support to the RoboCop. He won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for Elite Troops in 2008. He is also the producer and director of the hit series Netflix, Narcos and made another part of the streaming network called "Mechanism" which account the case that exists through Brazil with the endless processes on the world politics installed in the country. The protagonist is the actor Wagner Moura who did among other Elysium (2013).

AN ACTION OF YOUNG IDEALISTS
20 June 2018
A good national trilher, based on the real facts, in the biographical book of Fernando Gabeira, who confessed that he had done these actions, shows the idealistic young people making a crime to defend causes that they thought noble, good to see and to know this portrait of that time of the Brazil. The young people I believed were engaged in a political movement that they thought was good, but they did not deeply understand the motives that led to Brazilian military occupation, only now with the facts that have recently occurred in the country could we understand the reasons and value the importance of intervention in that time. I recommend it, good to know our history and counting on great national actors. The filmmaker is one of the great national directors, it is about Bruno Barreto, who has done among other films the recent "Rare Flowers" (2013) and the acclaimed "Dona Flor and His Two Husbands" (1976). As protagonists we have the great American actor Alan Arkin who did among others Argo (2012) and Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and also counts on the national actors like Pedro Cardoso who made among other films, The Great Family: The Movie (2007).

Hilário Way to Tell the History of Brazil
20 June 2018
A humorous way to tell the story of Brazil, a film with our way Macunaíma de ser, a film that makes you know some facts in a bizarre way, being a pleasant and engaging film.

The filmmaker is the Pernambuco Guel Arraes, who develops exquisite works, many on TV and some pearls in the cinema, started with an already commented the O Auto da Compadecida 2000, one a hilarious story and the other a novel similar to this one of this post, a hilarious film, great called: Lisbela and the Prisoner (2003). The protagonist is the actor who also directs some works like "The Clown" and acted in an international film called Trash: The Hope Comes from the Garbage (2014).

A Treatment of Art Madness
18 June 2018
A story that is very important, not only for Brazil, but vital in the context of the health process, something moving and revolutionary, because the madness treated from a human point of view and as an instrument art, something very sensitive, something that values the ego of the person who has lost and wants to reintegrate life. A medical woman who believed in the power of love, to transform people who so badly need a way out.

The filmmaker is Paulo Pauloer, a great documentary filmmaker, made a documentary of Herbet Vianna (Herbet from Around 2009) and did this in detail. As protagonist we have one of the greatest Brazilian artists, Glória Pires, who made among other films, Se Eu Fosse Você (2006 and part II in 2009) and O Guarani in 1996.

A Brazilian of Value in the History of His Country
18 June 2018
The impressive history of Brazil, told in detail, we can with this film know where our political dynamic comes from. A film that clearly shows the forces behind power, freemasonry and the fights of groups against and in favor of having the command of public management. A film to understand an important part of our history, a film that we feel seeks to be didactic in the step by step of its presentation of the real facts, is beautiful to see and know all this, applause!

The filmmaker Sergio Rezende is a great accountant of the national cinema stories. He made two films in this sense that besides this commented here, one is about the militia with O Homem da Capa Preta of 1980 and later did the exquisite Zuzu Angel on the an arbitrary arrest of a young man and his mother's fight for justice in the Zuzu Angel plot of 2006. As protagonists we have Paulo Betti (Cafundó 2005) and Malu Mader (Feliz Ano Velho 1987).

RECOMMENDING WITH HUMOR THE HISTORY OF BRAZIL
17 June 2018
A hilarious film, has its theses and way of telling a part of the history of Brazil, when the reign of Portugal, comes to our country. Yes there are some excesses, but it is a beautiful plot, accentuates some personality traits of royalty and does so with brilliance, with creativity. A great movie!

A successful, adventure, by the Carioca actress Carla Camurati, she made two more films after that one, one was Copacabana in 2001. The protagonist was the great actress Marieta Severo (The Man in the Black Cape in 1980 and the Canudos War in 1997.

A Green and Yelow Movie
17 June 2018
A film with Brazilian scent and taste, hilarious and country side, that shows and plays with mystical and authentic figures, in a very good way, with actors that incorporate the climate. Film that was done next to a remarkable series of the TV and that obtained the prowess of presenting well two works connected, but perfectly free to occupy their spaces. I recommend!

The filmmaker is the Pernambuco Guel Arraes, who develops exquisite works, many on TV and some pearls in the cinema, after that film made two exquisite, one a hilarious story about the discovery of Brazil with Caramuru: The Invention of Brazil (2001) and the another a novel similar to this one in this post, a hilarious movie, great called: Lisbela and the Prisoner (2003).

BRAZIL OF THE INTERIOR BEAUTIFUL AND SIMPLE
17 June 2018
It shows a Brazil from the inside, a very touching film that we see the life choices of small mambembes style artists that circulate in their own network and alternative of presentations. A movie with our way and our little tricks, wonderful!

The filmmaker is the brilliant maceioense Cacá Diegues, made, among others, Xica da Silva in 1976, on slavery in Brazil. The protagonists are the experienced Jose Wilker (The Black Cover Man of 1980) and Beth Faria (For All: The Trampoline of Victory of 1997). There is also the young actor and cantr Fabio Junior.

Great Brazilian Movie
17 June 2018
A film with great national actors, shows the maturity of the people, the shock of generations, and principles in improving working conditions, an engaging and beautiful film, highly recommended.

The filmmaker Leon Hirszman, who was a great documentarist, made few films, but great, I quote from São Bernardo in 1972. As protagonists we have the great Gianfrancesco Guarnieri (The Quatrilho of 1995) and Fernanda Montenegro (Central of Brazil in 1995).

Um Grande Filme, Vibrante!
13 May 2018
A very good, historical film and shows the overcoming, beyond its own limits, the racial problem that is meaningless in humanity and lived in intensity here. A very exciting film, and also shows the differences of personalities and where it leads to each, uauuuu, there is heart! I recommend!!!

The filmmaker is American and Black, Anthony Hemingway Underground (2016) and American Crime Story (2016), I hardly know him, he works a lot in TV series. The protagonists are excellent Cuba Gooding Jr. Love Beyond Life (1998), Best Is Impossible (1997) and Talented Hands (TV Movie of 2009), among others and many others, full of beautiful stars in this film.

Corro, Genre: Very Bobo
24 April 2018
I definitely do not like this genre, I'm sorry the worshipers, but I think it's totally silly and silly and silly, movies like that, they want to scare me, I think it's a waste of time and a lost time,how much nonsense in "Get Out" (2017) and "Mother" (2017), how much silliness, I know there are people who like it, but I have it. that to be sincere, some movies with no sense at all and there are people who will still philosophize about surrealism, uauuuuuuu!

Well here we have an Alien already set and uglier living on Earth, something I think Sigourney Weaver left us, bug, now uglier and gave a unlearned to walk. A and even alone, has bred and now has an ear wow uuuuuuuuuuuuuu rssss, how much bobeira, socorroooooooooooo! I promise not to pester the worshipers, I will see less these style of film, rsss, enough ..... !!!! So concluding, I did not like it and would not recommend it, but if you like the horror type with Suspense, go, of course! Urgh !!!!

John Krasinski, who also is one of the protagonists of the film, he likes and did among others, Promised Land (2012) and The Muppets (2011). She also stars in actress Emily Blunt, whom I consider to be great and made, among other films, The Limit of Tomorrow (2014) The Devil Wears Prada (2006).

Great Movie, Incredible Historical Facts
13 April 2018
It is unimaginable to go to Afghanistan, and even more to walk together from one of the many tribes that inhabit it, because then, let's go, for those who like a war movie, a historical film and those very difficult to imagine, those who chair, to see so much danger, is to take the breath. At the same time it is a cadenced film, it takes us and "Bum" when we realize we fell in the middle of the war, insane and at the same time necessary. What a neh thought, a war that is made not to have war, Mio Dios, but that's it, I recommend it!

The filmmaker is new to the American film industry, it is the Danish Nicolai Fuglsig, in his second foray as director, went well, let's wait for his next steps, applause for his performance. The protagonist is the excellent actor Chris Hemsworth, an Australian who is our Thor (2011 and 2017), has also done among others In the Heart of the Sea (2015) and The Secret of the Hut (2012), movies that I really liked.

Motivational, See Everyone and Young People
10 March 2018
A cardinal of the life of a young woman, who, like all young people, has many doubts within her, many doubts about the world, yes even after being old, we still have this, but I speak, in a different way, when we are young, it is something without much experience, are actions done for the first time, so it makes everything different. Cartase can have several meanings, but I imagined that it would be the cure of one, in this case, person (character), or as the mythology diffused, it would be its liberation, purification of the soul. She wanted to be the difference in the world and was, even if in a tragic way, because her thoughts and words echoed the world, after the tragedy she experienced.

I'm not afraid, I think it could translate the title, it would be more faithful, I think, but this is one of the actions of student deaths in American schools. An unparalleled barbarism of our world, a world that is sick and mad, like the protagonists of violence of this size, whatever the reason. Yes a Christian movie, because it portrays the life of a young woman who was so behaved, I say this so there are no surprises and who wants to see, know what you will find. Well, you will find a lot of things, but what is left in me is the "Roller Coaster", that the young people are now determined, now lost, but always with all the possibilities to turn around, or to be well.

A film of young people, like many others, tells the life of a young woman, who has big dreams and the same great uncertainties, millions of disappointments and some achievements, good to see if she likes what I felt, see the movie, and do your reflections, I liked it, it's a good session, but if you like to see stories of young people, you will definitely like this one, by Rachel Scott in the 1990s.

The filmmaker is young Brian Baugh in his second film, made before "To Save a Life" (2009), but works as director of photography of several films. The protagonist is also the young Masey McLain who has made among other productions: The Resident (2018), Because Of Grácia (2017) and Christine (2016).
