Camilo Em Sarilhos (2005)
Another Camilo series
Another comedy series with Camilo character. The show is about the misadventures of Camilo, a old man always trying to seduce some young ladies, but his plans are always cut by his wife (Maria Emília Correia) and his employee (Paula Marcelo, his wife in real world).
One interesting and recurrent gag is the "x-rays" of Camilo (or better, his imagination), undressing with his eyes the beautiful women, down to the underwear.
Otherwise, there's nothing special about this show, with a type of humor interesting only to people with low literacy. But the positive point is better then the others instances of "Camilo", perhaps with the exception of "Camilo & Filho Lda".
Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
There is no speed in this sequel
I saw the movie for the first time this weekend, and I knew what I was expecting, a not brilliant movie.
I started enjoying the movie in the beginning, despite it was clear it was very inferior that the first one. Some bad acting and no charisma from the characters, mainly the good guy (Officer Alex Shaw) and the villain (John Geiger). The bad guy, played by William Dafoe, was way too much insane and the reasons to destroy the boat were, at minimum, exaggerated. This guy was fired and decided to destroy a ship, just to get a revenge!
When the movie moves on, the action truly begins, but also the sickness. The camera always moving around, blair witch style, there was not a single shot that was steady more than a second. Maybe to compensate some weak scenes, they shook the camera to look more like a true action movie!
*** Some Spoilers ahead ***
Anyway, I still gave a chance to the movie, but after the oil tanker scenes till the end, ruined the last hopes to, at least, be just another bad movie.
An oil tanker a mile away from the shore of a parasidiac beach? Maybe the sailors stopped there to take a drink at the beach! As bad enough, the silly scenes and jokes when the boat destroyed the buildings where just too bad. Finally, the beautiful explosion. Does a oil tanker explodes like that? I felt sorry to the islanders, their touristic income gone...
*** Spoilers end ***
In resume, just another sequel (only by the title, the movie itself has nothing to do with the original), trying to make money at the cost of the original movie, and, like so many times, inferior to the first. To watch once and forget.
