If you’re reading this, then you either discovered this blog early enough so that this post is still relevant, or you’ve scoured the site all the way down in order to find it. In any case, welcome! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Filipe and I’m a Portuguese movie lover and have been ever since I remember watching them.
But beyond loving movies, I love talking about movies and from that derived the idea for this blog. I hope to use it as a means to express my thoughts about whatever form of cinema I happen to consume at a given time, whether it takes the form of big budget blockbusters, newer releases, old classics, hidden gems, and of course, those pieces of film I happen to like not as much. My ambition is to share my very-much-uneducated opinions with you with the hope that you’ll find these articles insightful, interesting, engaging, maybe a bit comical or simply entertaining.
So, if you’re here, feel free to browse the site and have a look at whatever topics take your fancy. I do intend on giving my thoughts on a wide variety of movie genres and issues. I don’t consider myself to be a purist of any kind when it comes to movies, though of course, like anyone, there are certain types of movies that I prefer and those that I tend to twist my nose at.
If also, you’d like to know a bit more about myself, I’ll give you a brief overview. I was born in Lisbon in 1997, so at the time of writing this I am 23 years old. I live in Lisbon, work in auditing (not at all related with film, unfortunately), and strive to watch movies pretty much every week. I also like to indulge in reading, playing video games, travelling, cooking and other such hobbies.
Of course, with the current pandemic I haven’t had a lot of occasions to go to the cinema. I do hope to return soon enough, once restrictions become more relaxed and the severity of the situation diminishes, and maybe I’ll write articles on my first experiences back at the movies!
For now, I’ll share my movie experiences from home and perhaps on occasion, my thoughts on a television series for a change. Whatever ends up being the content of my site, I truly hope it is to your liking. Once again, thank you for having a look at this project of mine and stick around if you’d like. I’ll try not to disappoint.
Filipe
