where the wild things are

Enquanto espero pela estreia do “Where the wild things are“, resolvi procurar uma curta de animação de 1973 acerca do mesmo livro. Acabei por encontrar algumas coisas engraçadas.

While waiting for the premiere of the movie “where the wild things are“, I went looking for an 1973 animation movie, based on the same book. In the end, I’ve found out some interesting stuff.

let’s look at the trailer

Looking forward to see these movies:

Tetro

By Francis Ford Coppola, with Vincent Gallo. The trailer looks awesome.

Public Enemies
http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/publicenemies/
By Michael Mann. Not the best trailer in the world, but great casting: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard (oh la la)

Whatever Works
http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/whateverworks/
By Woody Allen. And it really seems like a classic Woody Allen movie, but with Larry David.

Inglosious Bastards

By Tarantino… with Brad Pitt.

VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA


Last week I went to see Woody Allen’s latest movie, called “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”. It’s a very entertaining movie, that makes you want to live like that, in permanent vacations, somewhere in a sunny latino country.
I enjoyed the way he filmed Spain. Ok, maybe he used too many cliches, but in the end, I think it works perfectly well, and it’s a very amusing movie. And you just got to love Penelope Cruz performance.

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It’s time for us to take matters into our own hands.
