I was born in a little village called Espirito Santo do Turvo in countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, since 1976 I'd started write on a little book the name of all movies that l did watched in my life since then in five degrees only.
ln 1982 this book is completelly filled, a large book quickly was added, which to be fil all over again, just around 200 pictures, including the original name, country, year, director and the main casting.
But in 1998 l'd changed for a final and large book, now most appropiate method on ten degrees, until may 2019 I'd watched 9.800 movies and rated by me in my book, some l'd watched many times among them a dozen times.
How l'd started watch in television because my village didn't have a theatre so l'd used to watch dubbed movies...so l really like it, but today the dubbing is a crap!! In this case l've been prefer the original audio.
My favorites is Sci-fictions, Westerns, Noir, all Comedies and old Terror just named a few, following by every kinds of documentaries, but my collection l have all kinds of movies and almost 8.750 titles and 390 series, among them rariest bootlegs until previously unreleased on original DVD or Blu-ray....no VHS because lt's needs a large space.
My Life is my family, my Factory, my movies and my religion is the S.C. Corinthians Paulista!!!

The Norseman (1978)
So inaccurate premise concerning the fearless Vikings!!
The iconic producer Samuel Z. Arkoff has given countless great productions, although this specific one that was offered in an inaccurate premise concerning the fearless Vikings that never made a raid in anywhere with a single ship as exposed in the picture, that being said the whole offering falls apart, further some Vikings displayed on movie were already aged, such thing is unthinkable upon any point of view.
Aside the untamed Seminole American natives, however measure them with the Viking is pusillanimity, to getting worst the meek behavior implied on warriors Vikings is a crying shame, the casting apart the wooden clean-shaven face Lee Major all remainder are great as Cornel Wilde, Mel Ferrer, Chistopher Connelly.
Jack Elam is a chapter apart, he played a Death Dreamer, that usually is an esteemed and holy character in Viking's culture, wrongly exposed in movie as hunchback-jester, he has been mocked by whole crew ship members, another colorful character is the Indian Witch Kathleen freeman.

Petlya Oriona (1981)
Odd offering from Iron Curtain, the whole packet is really bad!!
These Sci-Fi conceived in Iron Curtain generally speaking is hard to swallow, due they used to a kind of metaphoric offering in mostly of their productions, also usually dealing with abstract issues, to worsen Petlya Oriona has a confusing narrative, almost encrypted, the plot is quite acceptable for a Sci-Fi, however the whole packet is far away to be reasonable.
Due a tight budge the producers implied a sloppy inner spaceship, whoever masterminded it was logged out of real life in a tight environment of a spaceship, it has countless of mismatches as many couch at meeting room, also all king of test tube and sample vessels at laboratory all these loose there, heavy ladders, great wide spaces everywhere, anyway a bad conceived scenario to far off journey into outer space.

Nairobi Affair (1984)
The poachers are chase by hostile Father & Son meanwhile a look at gorgeous girl around!!
Unfortunately during the eighties the iconic-veteran Charlton Heston has been scarcely invited by film industry for many reasons including his advanced age and also the higher cost, whatever after the successful mini-series CHIEFS he goes along in many projects, although Nairobi Affair as TV-movie has proved itself a wrong move by Heston mainly by the lame screenplay even an auspicious premise on Africa dealing with poachers of ivory and dealing with his bittered son.
The daft writer imposes an implausible double affairs of Maud Adams by father and son altogether, it somehow demote the offer to a lower point, meanwhile the clash between them upgrade the narrative, Heston playing Lee a slopy father with his family splitting up his worn out marriage and left behind his bothered son Rick played by John Savage, turns out that Rick previously had an affair with Anne, so when Lee finally meets Rick on the ex-wife's funeral the things get worse, due Lee has been proposing a long time an engagement with free Anne.

A King in New York (1957)
Old scores being settled up between Chaplin over America!!
The red-liner Chaplin caught in disgrace with US's establishment due his bad behavior often attacking the conservative wing, it triggers his banning from USA for good, in response he made this movie lampooning the whole system as consumerism, modern cinema, new wave of noisy rock bands and mainly House-Un American Activities Committee, this picture wasn't allowed in America for fifteen years, even in Europe it wasn't a successful at box-office.
Aside the own Chaplin stated it as non-political picture aiming for puzzle the audience, the critics said otherwise, underlining all aspects, as a refugee King, the communist boy, the atomic issue for pacific purpose and so for, in other hand as comic offering, it somewhat stayed in the past, rarely it achieved a free laughs from the viewers, even emotionally as he used to as can be proved at final laconic outcome, it seems a revenge to a country that made him rich and famous, in fact both were unequivocally losers from trade tensions.

The Wild Wild West: The Night of the Two-Legged Buffalo (1966)
The pompous Prince of south seas Coral Island!!
As far as recall it was one the most weak episode so far, apart the soft mannerism of the pompous Prince of Coral Island is too funny and remarkable, but the story is quite contrived as often in this exotic series, the Prince cited above landing at San Francisco for an upcoming political meeting at White House to sign a treat with the United States concerning the island be a trading post of Americans, before the long journey cross-country the Prince decides a relief time at Spa thermal spring, ours friends ought prevent a possible attack against the Prince that should be carried out by foreign powerful countries.
As usually a female presence is portrait by the eye-candy and silly aristocratic Dana Wynter to adorn the mainly masculine casting, by the way not so male-dominated, the Prince in question is openly a flamboyant behavior to call him as true man in correct term of the word, a sudden twist is comes along on the outcome.

Two movies were made concerning Lt. Gen. Kappler, this was the first one, the main subject concerning the infamous Ardeatine Caves Massacre, the last one THE SCARLET AND THE BLACK starred by Gregory Peck as Monseigneur Hugh O'Flaherty and Christopher Plummers as Gen Kappler, however this last one is more historically accurate.
The Italian title Reppresaglia focuses specifically on the attack against a Nazi patrol at Rome street carried out by ultra nationalist members, resistance and communist party, thus the German high command demanded for each 33 German soldiers dead, ten Italians must be shot merciless, nothing short than 330 citizen were chosen by criminal records even in smallest offences to fill out the list.
Meanwhile the Pope Pius XII kept quiet by political reasons scratching himself by the history forever, fine picture although such Father Pietro Antonelli played by Marcello Mastroianni remains unknown or his character was created upon Monseigneur Hugh O'Flaherty figure.

Destination Moonbase-Alpha (1978)
It's a rearranged story using archive footage from Space: 1999 series!!
Instead to make it using the former casting of Space: 1999, the producers rather use an old footage of double episode intitled THE BRINGERS OF WONDERS PART 1-2 aired on august 1977, just rearranging the story when the moon after a nuclear blasting at Moonbase-Alpha has been throw into far space at incredible lightning speed (oh my God, the writers gonna mad?) worst an Earth spaceship appears reaching there faster than lightning speed (Einstein would died at once after this blasphemy).
The Earthlings rescuers crew are nothing short the Moonbase's crew closest friends, behind these guys hidden a bunch of Aliens monsters whom mesmerizing all them as humans, just Kroenig can see their real shape, actually they don't want return to Earth whatsoever, in fact such Aliens needs radiation to keep their bodies alive, the movie is in same patten of the series, amusing entertainment if you forget the mismatches on the plot.

I thought that he'd returned just by the gorgeous Scientist Karen Austin working as supporting high tech computer, the top-secret Cyborg's developing was under oversight of Robert Webber, now they ought stop the hybrid-human when he has to be recharging his plutonium batteries for a thirty minutes only, meanwhile it is impossible to break, (why they figure out a dynamite for instance or a bazooka, certainly not it will destroy the whole concept).

The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974)
Even dealing with a fictional story, underneath has many historical events!!
It's a fictional story based in the novel as the same title about a ex-slave girl self-called Jane Pittman (Cecily Tyson), the story unfolds in a period spanning the end of civil war until 1962 when the clashes ongoing in the south was in the peak, of course the writer had some reliable sources to re-telling those long years of post-slavery to tell in smalls details of this fabulous sad story.
So dealing as fictional story the impact is somewhat weakened by this, even so many events portrayed in the movie match with historical events as the Vigilantes that killed those free black families aiming for avoid them leave the south, also exposes why the hate gets stronger due the war let many south-farmers to bankrupt by war efforts, further their husbands and sons were killed in the battles, so they pinned those poor slaves for that, I'd watched this movie on far off 1987, the highlight went to Cecily Tyson stunning performance.

Turns out that Sgt.
