Best Films Of 2014

Image
2014 was a great year when talking about films. We had some we all knew would be awesome - Days Of Future Past -, some we weren't too sure about but turned out great - Winter Soldier - and some we really had no hope whatsoever but surprised us - Guardians Of The Galaxy-, so, let me talk you trough some of my personal favourites. During the first Trimester of the year, we had awesome films released such as " Boyhood ", " The Lego Movie ", and " Captain America: The Winter Soldier ". When I first watched the Lego film, it didn't hit me, apart from the fact that the song got stuck in my mind, but after a while - somehow - it just grew on me, and now it's definitely one of favourites of the year. But even after that, The Winter Soldier is still the best film from this first trimester, actually it is the best film from this entire year. Marvel Studios just took the film to brand new level. Captain America - just like Superman - is one of those

5 Short Films To Watch This Christmas

1. Frosty The Snowman ( x ) "Don't cry, Karen, Frosty's not gone for good. You see, he was  made out of Christmas snow and Christmas snow can never  disappear completely. It sometimes goes away for almost a year at  a time and takes the form of spring and summer rain. But you can bet  your boots that when a good, jolly December wind kisses it,  it will turn into Christmas snow all over again." "Yes, but... He was my friend." 2. How The Grinch Stole Christmas! ( x ) "They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming! They're just waking up,  I know just what they'll do. Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,  then the Whos down in Whoville will all cry, 'Boo Hoo.'" 3. Mickey's Christmas Carol ( x ) "Tell me, spirit, what's wrong with that tiny lad?" "Much, I'm afraid. If these shadows remain unchanged,  I see an empty chair where Tiny Tim

Rocking Tights On Christmas Time

Image
It is finally the first of December, which means it's officially Christmas time and we can all now obsess about it. To be fair, I can't stop thinking about what to wear on Christmas day, since it's quite chilli on a major part of the world right now, what is better then something comfy, warm and still very fashionable? Yep, I am talking about tights; I mean we all love to wear some tights with a comfy dress or a nice skirt... But lets focus on the tights now, I love online shopping so I did a bit of research and put together a little list of my favourite ones right now, and just in time to buy them and get them before Christmas day! ASOS I love this 'over the knee' tight trend going on, and I got admit it ASOS is doing the best job with those kind of tights. I personally fell in love with this ' Dinosaur Over The Knee Tight ', it's just so playful and cute. I love it. I also love the ' 3 Hoop Over The Knee Tight ', the ' Hearts

Why I Don't Think Louis Tomlinson Is Homophobic Nor A Jerk

Image
Last week One Direction's Louis Tomlinson was all over the news after he reacted to an article about him on The Independent. The article written by the journalist Jenn Selby, claimed that Louis' was wearing a rainbow Apple shirt in order to support Apple CEO, Tim Cook, who recently came out. x A day after this was published, Louis got on twitter and talked about the article, directing himself to the Journalist: " @JennSelby The fact that you work for such a 'credible' paper and you would talk such rubbish is laughable. I am in fact straight. Google 'original apple logo' and you will see the one printed on my shirt that you reported on. Trying to look for a promotion ? ". And then declared: " Fucking ridiculous I even have to tweet that shit ! ". Just after he tweeted this many fans and articles started to claim Louis was homophobic, since The Independent's article did not say anything directly about his sexuality. Jenn Sel

5 Scary Films To Watch On Halloween

Image
Since Halloween is almost here, I decided to list a few of my favourites scary films for fun night in. If you're anything like me, you're probably not doing anything on Halloween but that does not mean the "Halloween Spirit" isn't in you. So, why not have a fun and scary night in with a few friends and/or family! 5. The Blair Witch Project " I'm scared to close my eyes, I'm scared to open them " One of the most classic horror films of all time. If I'm correct it was the first film in which the internet had a major part in promoting it, like by sharing the real story that inspired the film; Since it was promoted as a true story. It is a found footage kind of film and it's absolutely terrifying. The film follows a trio of young film students investigating and filming a documentary about a famous local legend: the Blair Witch. They get lost in the woods, and that's when the nightmare starts. Telling you anything past this point

I Spit On Your Grave

I went to Renata's house the other day, and we wanted to watch a horror movie. So we logged in Netflix and this title caught our attention. The plot synopsis said "In this horror remake, young writer Jennifer has her life shattered by a vicious rape. Now, the thugs responsible will face an excruciating fate". I had heard many people talk about how great this movie was and everything, so, why not? I could lie and say that I'll try to make this spoiler free and everything, but I can't. So... ~~~ START OF SPOILERS ZONE ~~~ First of all, this movie is one of the most incommodious movies to watch EVER. Mainly because it's a 108 minute movie with 50 minutes of rape scenes and the other 50 with torture scenes. So, yeah, it is a extremely uncomfortable movie to watch. The first 10 minutes made me almost burst out of agony. I mean, we all know she's getting raped, and I just wanted it to be over soon, so we could get to the actual movie, but apparently h

Homemade Pizza

Image
Me and my brother were craving pizza the other day, but we did not want to spend our money (since our mum is traveling and we don't wanna spend the small amount of money we have). Therefore we decided to make some homemade pizzas. We used a "pre-made" pizza dough - 'cause if we were to make a dough ourselves, we would be hungry 'till now. Our pizza before we put it in the oven Anyways, firstly we made some chicken with a bit of tomato sauce. Then we built the actual pizza. A little bit of tomato sauce and some cheese, then we put our 'chicken sauce' in the middle and some cream cheese around the chicken. The pizza just out of the oven We put it in the oven for around ten minutes and voilĂ ! And I got admit it was damn good. I was pretty proud of ourselves! The cream cheese gave it an extra flavor that was just, so yummy; also the fact that it was a chicken sauce, and not just chicken made it even more delicious. P.S. Eat that with some pina

Really Don't Care

I wouldn't exactly call myself a 'lovatic', mainly because I don't think I have the right to call myself that. I mean, I love Demi Lovato , and I support her on most of the stuff she does, but I don't love unconditionally or think everything she does is awesome and flawless. Therefore I do not consider myself a 'lovatic'. Even though I believe being a fan there's nothing to do with what I just said, Daniel and everyone in this world seem to... Anyways, Demi just released her brand new music video for ' Really Don't Care ' featuring Cher Lloyd . And I just have to say how much I love it! It is fun, it goes with the lyrics, it is supporting a cause, it is just freaking amazing! I love how it starts with Demi calling people out, like there's these people with sings saying stuff such as "Homo sex is sin", "Romans 11:8-32 explains why you are insane" and "Homo sex is a threat to national security"; and Dem

World Cup, VHS, Tarot and Childood Memories

Image
This past Thursday the world cup finally started. As a Brazilian I was extremely excited, yet very annoyed with all these problems that happened in order to be ready for the World Cup. I woke up lunch time and watched the opening ceremony whilst eating something... And I have to admit I was so disappointed with it! It was quite embarrassing to be honest. Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte performing during World Cup's Opening Ceremony The problem was, there was a lot going on and nothing made sense.  They tried to represent every state in the country, but failed miserably at it. There wasn't a choreography, it was almost as if they found all those people two minutes before the ceremony started. Everyone was doing they're own thing. There was people dancing samba, people walking around, and people just standing there. And to finish it up there was the Pitbull/J-Lo/Claudia Leitte performance fiasco. Firstly the thing that was supposed to go up with J-Lo and Pit
