Beauty and the Beast

The remake by Disney with real actors. It is very faithful to the animation and to the play.


Dois homens completamente nus

A play about two men that wake up naked lying on the sofa. They don't recall what happened, why they are naked. The wife of one of them enters the room and they try to come up with a story to explain the whole scene.
Very funny!

March: A Ilustre Casa de Ramires

A book by Eça de Queirós that tells the story about the Ramires family that is a metaphor of Portugal.

Gold

A very interesting movie about a fraud related to gold mining.

February: The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens

A novel about a society presided by Mr. Pickwick. It has very funny episodes :)

20th century women

This is an interesting movie about women living in the 1970s and how different society was before.
Annette Benning plays a very good role. She is a single mother and sometimes she is not able to cope with all the changes and all the challenges. She has the help of a punk photographer, a handyman and another teenager those his son is in love with.
There is a very funny part when the teenager is reading a book about women and tries to tell other guys that they sometimes fake orgasms and the importance of the clitoris.
