"Pedro e Inês" - Camaleões (2015) Ph: João Azevedo

Since I was a little girl, I always had a thing to understand how things worked. Not mechanical things or gadgets, I was never the engineer kind of girl. No, I was curious about two things: Biology and Art. So, here I am, 20 or so years after, trying to make both things at my own way.

Lo5 #2 Let's bring Marvel up!

Since I already did mention my undying love for superheroes to you, we can all possibly agree this was a completely expected Lo5 (I'm calling it that, 'cause it's easier and sounds quite cool... I think). But what should we list, people? *drumrolls*

Trailer goosebumps #1: Suicide Squad

Great news for super-hero lovers! (It seems that super heroes are my blog theme, 'cause so far... yeah, well, it's not, you'll see). Suicide Squad first offical and complete trailer is OUT and it honestly looks GREAT! It looks in fact so great, that the only thing I belive this trailer will do is increase fan's expectations on the movie (expectations that where huge from the start, I should say).

And that's the problem isn't it?

The BFS 16 #3 or the one with almost no Batman

Lists of 5...more or less #1

I already told you I'm kind of crazy about lists. You see, there're few things more rewarding than seeing the chaos that is your life just (apparently) a little bit more organised. So there's nothing more logical for me than making one (or many) of them once in a while.

Which brings me to this section: here I'm making lists of 5 (more or less... after a while I'll probably forget about the number) things than can be the best or the worst or... anything, really. I'm serious, some day I can come up with only a list of random vegetables. Fine by me.

The subject of each list? The crazier the better!

So, on the 1st ever LIST OF 5...

The BFS16 #2 and The Joker

Title: The Dark Knight

The BFS16 #1 or And so it... begins (?)

Challenges to get the year started... or The Big Film Saga of 2016

For some mysterious reason, there are two things in life I feel like are way more fun to do than what it may seem: Lists and Challenges.
Don't ask me why, I couldn't tell you, but I'm suspicious that it's related to the fact that I can actually, physically, cross things out of both, and with that reaching a certain goal, and see that I'm progressing, without having to feel it. There is proof, when you draw that line over an entry, that you actually did something.
And so I'll start the year with a challenge, which I decided to name The Big Film Saga of 2016, though I have no idea if it will be ginourmous or boringly simple.

The rules are plain simple! The goal is to watch 52 new movies in 2016. Sagas count as as many movies there are in each one. No rewatches. No predetermined list, also, I'll just watch what I feel like it in the moment.

I'll make a post here about the films I pick, and why and I'll try to post a review per film, but I can't make promisses about that.

Feel free to join my madness or just follow it through here or Facebook.
