Has anyone seen the new Brazillian movie "City of God?" It's totally amazing. The storyline is incredibly harsh and some of the scenes are definately not pleasant however it's an incredibly powerful film. Hope it does well at the Oscars.

The story is told through the eyes of a photographer when he was a kid. He grew up in the slums of Rio de Jeniro and tells the tale of two little boys who grow up to be the drug crimelords of their city.

It's based on a true story and a lot of the characters are only wee kids. It's already hailed as the Brazillian Goodfellas. I can see the comparison but in my opinion, this is a way superior movie. :-)

Hi,

Just got back from seeing the movie.

What can I say........................It was great, outstanding, what?

It was all these things and more and if I wouldn't be spoiling it for someone who hasn't seen it and plans to I would go on and on about it.

Just will say that it went full circle and in the hands of children.

Have seen some really outstanding movies lately, this one, The Pianist, Hours.  There are good movies out there you just have to hope a theatre will play them.\

There used to be 3 theatres here in Orange County where you could see Merchant Ivory movies, foreign movies and the off beat ones.  We are now down to one theatre as far as I know.  

So, any recommendations greatly appreciated and I will keep my eyes opened to see if the last remaining theatre is going to play them.

Talk to Her is nowhere to be seen but will keep looking for it.
