Hitman (2007)
Didn't need to me more than what it is.
As an avid fan of the video game franchise, i must admit, this was one of the best game-to-movie adaptation i have watched so far. After reading a few comments on IMDb regarding its poor plot and great acting, i didn't get my hopes high. For the acting part, it sure was great. Olyphant in the leading role as Hit-man actually "is" Hit-man. He managed to mimic most of the character's moves and expressions. The supporting actors play their part just fine and never get in the way of the flow of the action. As for the story, it didn't need to be more than what it is. It introduces you to the character Hit-man, enlights you on what he does for a living and leaves a lot of room for future plots regarding his own personal story, which i definitely look forward to watch in sequels (the whole cloning-experiment thing).
All in all, i was more than happy and relieved as i left the theater. 8 out of 10
Amo-te Teresa (2000)
Love deceives age
Amo-te Teresa is one of the best Portuguese TV productions ever made. An humble story, a remarkable acting and a modest direction make this film reach out the corners of your conscience, making you wonder why nowadays, in many western nations, AGE is such a relevant factor on the approach of two people.
After watching this film, i conclude once more that AGE is, despite any moral issues, just a number, which fades away in the firing passion that happens between two souls. The music, interpreted by a Portuguese band - the GNR - embraces the plot and re-tells the whole story in a couple of lines. In fact, the lyrics seem to reflect the very own question this movie rises.
**** out of *****
