Christmas Gifts - 2010

Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 (2010)

A compilation of both movies:

Fantasia (1940): Unforgettable images are brought to life by some of the world's best music -- the comedy of Mickey Mouse as a troublemaking sorcerer's apprentice, the beauty of winged fairies and cascading snowflakes, even plump hippos performing ballet in tutus! (IMDb: 7.9, i♥movies: 7.5).

Fantasia 2000 (1999): Disney animators and filmmakers have again expanded the boundaries of imagination with Fantasia 2000. Fulfilling Walt Disney's original vision of uniquely fusing sight and sound in a full-length motion picture, this film begins where its predecessor, Fantasia left off, with seven completely new segments and the return of the popular "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." (IMDb: 7.3, i♥movies: 7.1)

Jericho (2006)

A TV-Series: After a series of terrorist attacks leave the US in a state of disaster. A small Kansas town must come together to deal with a new reality. (IMDb)
IMDb: 8.2

I also got several DVDs from cartoons I loved when I was a kid, from a brazilian HQ: Turma da Mônica! :)

Dexter 5th Season Finale

Yesterday I watched the 5th Season finale of Dexter. I loved it!

(CAREFUL! Contain spoilers!)

I thought this season took a while to really start, but once it did, I really liked it, his relationship with Lumen, and the way it developed was great! for me it was kind of obvious she wouldn't stay, they were so great together that if she did his life was going to be so perfect I don't think the series could go on as exciting as it has... What they can explore now and that can get really interesting is his relationship with his sister, since she kind of "approved" what he did and saved him, even though she didn't know it was him all along...

I'm already curious for what is to come on the next season!

Shutter Island (A Ilha do Medo) DVD

Today I got the DVD from Shutter Island in a sale, it's a very good movie (exclusive post). The interesting part is I have just started to read the book by Lehane yesterday! And I am sure that at the moment I'm done with the book I'm going to want to watch the movie again! Anyway, it's a great movie, so it's a great acquisition!

Dexter's Christmas Song

I love Dexter and Michael C. Hall... Yesterday he was on Late Night with Jimmy Falcon where Jimmy asked Michael what Dexter's favourite christmas song was and asked him to perform it live! Of course he improvised and changed some of the lyrics, it was so funny! BTW, he sings really well!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I

Yesterday I went to watch the movie I was waiting for all year long... Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. (click here for my post with infos and trailers)

Amazing! I really liked the movie, it's been a while since I trully deeply liked one of Harry Potter's adaptations, I usually like the movies, but there is always a scene they omited that I keep asking myself why they did it... However, people who haven't read the books will probably think this movie is slower than the rest, and obviously doesn't have an "end"... Just keep in mind that the last Harry Potter book was divided into two movies, this one being the first part, so it will be more detailed, which will be a delight for the book readers, and it's end will be on the second part... Anyway it's a must see!

For the people who don’t know what the story is about, you’re probably from another planet, but anyway, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the 7^th and final book from the Harry Potter saga written by J.K. Rowling. Voldemort's power is growing stronger; he now has control over the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione decide to finish Dumbledore's work and find and destroy the rest of the Horcruxes to defeat the Dark Lord. But little hope remains for them, as they race against time and evil, they uncover the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows.

IMDb: 8.0
