Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

December 31, 2012December 31, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

I lost the count, but this is the, what, fourth Ice Age movie? Fortunately, it got better than the last. We have more Scratch (I love that guy), we have less sentiment, and more humor. That is great. Regarding the animation, not much to say: it is great. The story, not bad, not relevant to […]

The Expendables 2 (2012)

December 9, 2012December 9, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on The Expendables 2 (2012)

No, this is not a great action movie, nor a comedy, nor anything. This is a museum! Take a bunch of old actors for well known action movies, join them, make bullets fly around, add a couple of jokes, and a movie is done. The truth is that the first one was better. In this […]

Sherlock – Season 2

September 19, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Sherlock – Season 2

This second season is a crescendo. The first episode is not really good, the second one is interesting and different from the usual, and finally, almost one hour and a half in the last episode that is pretty good, and that ends, as usual for season finales, letting us wait for the next season, to […]

The Avengers (2012)

September 16, 2012ambs1 Comment on The Avengers (2012)

Great movie. Not because of Scalett (but it helped) but mostly because of Iron Man (aka Stark). He is too fun. There are some great scenes with Hulk as well. Probably the one with less sense of humor is the Captain America. When you watch one of these movies you are not expecting a great […]

GIrls (2012) – First Episode

August 30, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on GIrls (2012) – First Episode

Not much I can say about this show. Not sure why I watched it. No idea if I ever will watch another episode. But now that I’ve watched the first episode, I can blog a little about it. Girls series, probably. Girls, boyfriends, sex, drugs and living on your parents for money. Enough? Ok, some […]

Contes Immoraux (1974)

August 26, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Contes Immoraux (1974)

From time to time I find a French erotic movie, and I need to watch it. They are different from what people usually call pornography. Here you don’t have sex, you have erotism. In this case, it is not properly a movie, but a sequence of four stories (the four Contes Immoraux), that include two […]

Panoramic Photos – Hugin

August 12, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Panoramic Photos – Hugin

Hugin is the only free alternative to AutoPano Giga/Pro that I have found. In these cases the number of photos is smaller (and mostly horizontal). This tool is not as good as AutoPano in guessing the position of photos, but does a good overall job.

Panoramic Photos – AutoPano Giga

August 12, 2012August 12, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Panoramic Photos – AutoPano Giga

These are my two first experiences with AutoPano Giga. They have plenty of problems. One of the photos has a lot of inconsistencies, most of which are my fault, for moving while taking the photos (and not just rotating over an axis). Nevertheless, I like these pictures.

Der Name der Rose (1986)

August 11, 2012August 11, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Der Name der Rose (1986)

The book (the name of the rose, by Umberto Eco) was read about 12 years ago, in Portuguese. All these years made me forget some details. I mostly recall the fact there was a girl (the rose), that there were some dead mongers (I did not recall how many or how) and that there was […]

Game of Thrones – Season 1

August 8, 2012August 8, 2012ambsLeave a Comment on Game of Thrones – Season 1

First, yes, probably. I know some of you want me to read the books (first or instead). I am sorry to disappoint, but it is too late to read them first or instead, and I am not sure if I will read them at all. That will be another issue. Now, on this series comment: […]
