What are your all-time favorite movies?

Yes, people, it is time to think of a list. What are your five favorite films ever? Let's check out each other's tastes in cinema and see if there will be titles appearing in more than one list. If you want to write a little bit about your choices, all the better. We promise we'll be reading avidly ;-)

Movies and books

Well, hello, all! Following the same theme as Fernanda, I'm here to talk about movies and books. Many movies are based on books and, despite many books were written much before the film was made, generally the books get famous because of the films. Good examples are "Lord of Rings", "Da Vinci Code", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "The mists of avalon", "Dracula" and "Harry Potter", all of them huge Hollywood successes. There are also the brazilian examples, like "O Primo Basílio", "O Xangô de Baker Street", "Olga" and the famous title "Ensaio sobre a cegueira", written by the fantastic portuguese writer José Saramago. Personaly, every time I see a film based on a book that I have already read, I get disappointed. I allways imagine different faces and voices to the characters and things happen much faster on movies, with much less details. "Lord of Rings" is a good example. Token, the author, was so perfectionist that he rewrote many pages of the book because the phase of the moon did not match to the time passed on the story. No movie can describe this sort of thing so perfectly.

Talking about movies (or would it be about comic books?)

Have you notice how the number of movies based in comic books has increased lately? Just this year we had Wanted, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man and Batman the Dark Knight.

The last one has already taken on this year’s Scream Awards, a annual award for fantasy, terror and science fiction works. It has won twelve rewards, including the biggest trophy: The Ultimate Scream. Some of the others were The Best Super-Hero, for Christian Bale (Batman’s actor), The Best Supporting Performance, for Gary Oldman (the police commissioner Gordon) and The Best Director, for Christopher Nolan.

Of course, Heath Ledger (the Joker) won for Best Actor and for Best Villain, rewards that he actually deserves, in my opinion. His performance was perfect, after all the movies that he made (including Brokeback Mountain, the Grimm and many others, of many different styles, that I can’t remember the name) he pointed himself out as being a great actor. In one of his last interviews he said that Joker were the hardest character that he had played.

Well, the movie is great, I strongly recommend it ; ) .

For now that’s all. Let’s wait for the Oscar.
