I just watched City of God. Damn, that's a great movie.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then I watched another movie set in Rio de Janeiro: Fast Five. Which was awesome! It's like Ocean's Eleven with fast cars and only one white dude. I love how the team comprised characters from all four previous movies. Although, damn, I barely remember what happened in the last one. I want to have a marathon now. Bring on number six!
(Do not see this movie if you cannot stand car chases with collateral damage because HOLY SHIT.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Official Hobbit press release. Mark your calendars.
I think I enjoyed Fast Five more than any of the franchise, perhaps even the original. But, yeah, collateral damage up the wazoo. No deaths confirmed, but they had to happen.

I agree. It's easily the best since the original, and it may even be better. It's like they figured out everything that worked about the franchise and distilled it down to AWESOME. What does a Fast and the Furious heist movie look like? Well, it surely ends with A GIANT SAFE BEING TOWED DOWN THE STREETS OF RIO DE JANEIRO.
But, yeah, collateral damage up the wazoo. No deaths confirmed, but they had to happen.
"Did you guys just take out a bank?" Heh.

I like how there's even offscreen drag races (not really spoilery). I mean, they figure they know you know how they work, so take it as written, and they'll save the petrol for a more amazing stunt, which, but the way, is REALLY FUCKING BIG.

That was kind of disappointingly hilarious. It's like, come on, you know they're going to win, we don't really need to show you; we'll save our drag race scene for when it really matters.

Will and I saw Fast Five the other night as a date night and it was a lot of fun! Now Iv'e got the movies up at the top of my netflix queue.

Because books.
Donald Sutherland will play President Snow. I think that will really work, actually.

I never would have thought of him, but I think he'll be awesome!

Yeah, out of all the casting this one is closest to what I had in my head, but like sj, I would not have thought to cast him.
