Three Little Things #3

For some reason this week seems to have dragged on and on. I haven’t been sleeping too well, which has resulted in me feeling like a sleep deprived zombie…but I did have some good moments and I’m excited to share the highlights with you! Por qualquer razão, esta semana parece ter demorado muito mais a passar do que é costume. Não tenho dormido muito bem, o que tem resultado em me sentir como um zombie com privação de sono…mas tive uns bons momentos e estou entusiasmada por partilhar os destaques convosco! BFF’s 90s Birthday // Aniversário anos 90 It was…

Oscar films to watch #1

I am a big fan of the Oscars. My first memory is of the 70th Academy Awards in 1998, which I recorded because I was so excited to see if Titanic would win Best Picture (it did, of course). Sou uma grande fã dos Oscares. A minha primeira memória é da 70ª Cerimónia dos Prémios da Academia em 1998, que gravei porque estava ansiosa por saber se o Titanic ia ganhar Melhor Filme (ganhou, claro). Since then I’ve been following the ceremonies and watching it in full when I can, even if I do have to work the next day.…

Manchester by the Sea

Manchester by the Sea is this year’s standout film, and probably of the biggest contenders for the Best Picture award at the Oscars. Manchester by the Sea é o filme sensação do ano e provavelmente um dos maiores concorrentes para o Oscar de Melhor Filme. I went to watch it last weekend, and came out of the theatre feeling mostly confused. The truth is, it took me a few minutes thinking about what I’d just seen (and a couple of messages to my friends going “I’m pretty sure I missed something”) for the film to sink in, and for me…

La La Land – Here’s to the fools who dream…

Today is finally the day that Damien Chazelle’s much hyped movie La La Land premieres in the UK. Hoje é, finalmente, o dia em que estreia aqui no UK o filme de Damien Chazelle, já muito falado para os grandes prémios de Hollywood: La La Land. Luckily, through the Cineworld Unlimited Card, I got to watch it a few days earlier, last Sunday to be precise. Here are my thoughts… Por sorte, através de um cartão de fidelidade com os cinemas Cineworld, pude ver o filme uns dias mais cedo, no último domingo para ser mais específica. Aqui fica o…
