I’m a complete amateur on the writing business having had a few articles published in a few other magazines.
Also I was not educated in English so don’t be surprise with my grammar mistakes (trying to correct them though).
Said that, I’m looking forward to plenty reviews and maybe some opportunities

have read somewhere that compared to previous generations ours didn't do much to the human kind progress, that we are the TV generation parasites; fruit of a baby boom messed up cohort. I couldn't disagree more, under our years google was born, you tube came along, electronic music started ruling and we are certainly the ones with more environmental concerns. Said that, we also witness the technology control over our lives: we are slaves of our mobiles, computers direct our days and last but...

The father of Funk left us alone with his music, no more "I feel good" without recalling he's gone, those magic dancing boots are hanged for good and no more crazed looking mug shots to bring a smile to our face while watching the news. I can't help to imagine a little piece of heaven where Hendrix is playing the guitar, Ray Charles messing about the key boards and a big line of first rate voices fighting to control the micro while chanting lyrics from John Lennon: Barry White, Frank Sinatra,...

I wanted to write a piece tied in two of my favourite subjects: Music and Film. My first though was to do a small dissertation on “Its all gone Pete Tong” but inexplicably I wanted a subject that didn’t involved DJ’s, I wanted to runway from something I always tend to divagate. Suddenly I remembered “Lisbon Story” a Wim Wenders film about this same city and submersed in Madredeus music. This artistic association made me very proud since it included my country, my music and one of my favourite...

Believe it or not I had this movie stuck in a shelf for months and months, I can’t tell you why I simply couldn’t decide myself to watch it, I don’t know, if it was Jim Carrey, or the title, whatever, I didn’t fell like watching it. One fine night when I ran out of movies to watch, I choose to give it a try. What a good decision that was, it’s one of the best romantic movies I’ve ever seen, so original, amazing and surprising script, oh well I could be all day enlisting all the great words I...

Dogville Direction & Screenplay: Lars von Trier Cast: Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany, Lauren Baccall, and James Caan This is one of those movies that was surrounded by controversy from the moment the shooting started. Definitely is one of the kind that you either love it or hate it, I’m among the ones that loved it. I consider it perfect; it’s a movie that surprises you for its difference. Even thought we have only a stage and it lasts for three hours, it’s amazing how we keep on wondering what ...

I liked your narrative because it is about one of those things that we can’t explain, like coincidences, how do we explain them? Or like when you are waiting for the phone to ring, it never does. Just wish that it were longer, that you would have shown more of your thoughts.

I love your words but honestly the piece is too enigmatic (intentionally maybe?), for example I would like to understand where is the room that you describe: is it in a clinic? A correctional institution? A punishment room in your own house? What do you mean by: “There’s only so much to can pour out in terms of my old standbys.” The only conclusion that I can take is that maybe will be more suitable for a poem and not a narrative on non-fiction events. I think you should restructure it, use t...
It is really interesting but I think that it needs a lot of work. The narrative is quite difficult to follow. For example: “as buried alive as a baby. But he survived-by the time and chance and God’s grace-but also because he simply would not die” I will not copy and past more but it either needs different punctuation or a better description because there are several examples like this one. But you certainly kept it interesting and I’m curious to know how were you buried alive and brought to ...
It is quite a strong piece and I really feel sorry for what happened. Even though I think that you are trying to find ways to overcome what happened I would advise you some therapy because there are definitely several things that need some work out for the sake of the rest of your life. When it comes to the writing: I saw a few grammatical mistakes, I would say for example if you are not strong instead of you aren’t strong because it gives it a different meaning. But I guess that’s the least ...
