• Not even Lady Gaga's bottle smashing performance saved the AMAs from being the tackiest awards show so far this year (and I'm not just saying that because of Carrie Underwood's outfit). I did not watch the show until the end because of the three hour time difference in Brazil, but I learned this morning that Jennifer Lopez was not the only performer who fell on stage.

• Did you watch New Moon over the weekend? I guess pretty much everyone did considering it broke the single-day record with $72.7 million on Friday, and closed the weekend as the third largest film debut ever. I have to admit that I read all the Twilight books last January and they were fun, but not even Taylor Lautner's wet ripped abs and delts could compensate for Kristen Stewart's acting in the movie. Dakota Fanning's three minutes on screen were seriously the best part of the whole thing. I am now officially Team Jane.

The much anticipated Brazilian movie Do Começo Ao Fim, about two half-brothers who fall in love, premiered last night at the opening of the 17th Annual MixBrasil Film Festival in São Paulo. I had the pleasure of attending the premiere, which was so packed that there people standing and sitting on the floor to watch the movie. Director Aluizio Abranches introduced the movie, along with the cast and actress Julia Lemmertz, who plays the mother. Watch their speech in the video below.

Do Começo Ao Fim starts playing in Brazil on November 27. My thoughts on the movie after the jump.

That is probably the fastest way of getting rid off violence and crime in Rio in time for the 2016 Olympics.
