Lua Vermelha (2010)
Bad television making
OK ,this television show is like a bad ripoff of all the vampire series made in the U.S,the script making is terrible ,the acting is even worse and the recording is classic "soap opera" camera shots.
You can even notice in the first episode that some scenes are almost exactly alike as the scenes in the beginning of twilight ,especially the scene of Bella spotting Edward during the lunchtime(as much as I hate the Twilight movies as a person with great interest in movies I have to do my research to do my reviews)
Isabela(the main girl) is obviously inspired in Bella from the Twilight movies,the poorly acted character is a "weird" girl that comes to a new school Afonso(the obvious Edward) is kid with the other school outcasts ,who happen to be vampires(surprised?) ,they spend a lot of time also drinking a red drink which seems to be a lot like blood (like the drinks in the series True Blood) The story of "Lua Vermelha" then unfolds a lot of drugs,family problems and etc etc, the classic script making for soap operas.
The thing is ,as the Portuguese T.V stations already make enough money on the crap they make(especially for teenagers) ,they don't dare and go make something that requires,better script making ,better camera work and better actors(god knows they sometime need better actors).And that is why this T.V show gets 2 out of 10 in my opinion

Beautiful
The pilot episode was great , the other episodes after it , even better , the plot of the story is so well made , the characters are so real , they remember of people i know , people i would like to know.Hank Azaria acts so well , it is amazing how he can act the character so well.As for Anton Yelchin , one of the few teenage actors i like , he has that involvement with a girl in the story , that also seems so real , Anton Yelchin , plays the innocent character very well.All I can say is that these are my favorite series so far.Oliver Platt , Paget Brewster , Andy Comeau who plays magnificently in this series , i got so surprised and sad that they canceled the show , such a good series , i hope Fox takes the idea.
Heaven's Burning (1997)
Movie not successful
I watched this movie , and i found it horrible. The only thing that made me continue watching the movie , was the acting of Russel Crowe The actress has a very good potential , but , the way the movie is written ruined it completely The bad guy is a terrible actor. This could be a great movie , if better made , but it was horrible in my opinion. This movie , is one of the worst I've ever seen. I don't recommend it to anyone.IF you are going to watch this movie to see if you have some "good movie time" , you better think twice , only if you're just having a good afternoon with your friends , if you are thinking of watching it alone i don't recommend , you will have no fun at all watching this movie (only if you pretend to make fun of it)
