I dub thee Official GFY Movie Critic.

**BVF** · 01-14-2005, 03:16 PM

Holy shit they call black people the N word and theives in Rio too? Wow.

**quiet** · 01-14-2005, 03:17 PM

City of God was one of the very best films I saw last year. EXTREMELY GOOD - i'm not sure yet, but i think it will probably end up in my top 10 all time favorites.

**Thrawn$** · 01-14-2005, 03:18 PM

Indeed, it's a great movie

**nico-t** · 01-14-2005, 03:18 PM

i saw it some time ago and it was a pretty good movie... nice story and shit about the crime on the streets around there

**RP Fade** · 01-14-2005, 03:21 PM

Yup..great flick

**Missy** · 01-14-2005, 03:22 PM

I had no idea that Portuguese was so different from Spanish. I can't catch anything similiar except 'por que' and 'policia'...The rest of the shit sounds completely different from spanish.

**Nismo** · 01-14-2005, 03:29 PM

Wow. Now I'm wanting to see this movie really bad. This is the first time i've ever even heard of it.

**Joe Citizen** · 01-14-2005, 03:32 PM

Okay, I gotta see this movie.

**cold_ice** · 01-14-2005, 03:36 PM

I never even heard of it.

That's probably because it's a (shock, horror) 'foreign' film.

**candyflip** · 01-14-2005, 03:43 PM

While you're on the subject of god, check out "Saved".

It's one bible thumping good time.

**BVF** · 01-14-2005, 03:46 PM

Fuck Yeah....Lil Dice took over the shit! That's a badass little muthafucka.

**quiet** · 01-14-2005, 03:48 PM

Lil Dice is one psychotic mofo.

**SykkBoy** · 01-14-2005, 04:11 PM

I almost changed my nick to Lil Dice ;-)

great fucking movie...everyone should see it...even those too lazy to read subtitles...

The cinematography is great. The music is great. Excellent editing. It doesn't look like a low budget movie at all. It's a fabulous movie and I've only watched 15 minutes of it so far.

You watch a lot of movies.

**Ironhorse** · 01-14-2005, 04:23 PM

It won a lot of awards.

That dining room table looks very much like one I'm refinishing for C right now. Same legs, but our corners a little more rounded. How old is it?

**swedguy** · 01-16-2005, 10:38 AM

Haven't watched it, but it sounds like something I should do

Watched Big Fish couple of nights ago, one of the best movies I've seen.

VERY old. It was my grandmother's table. It was around way before I was even born. (And I'm 33) It's still in good shape too.

**Workshop_Willy** · 01-16-2005, 04:27 PM

C got hers from her parents, who bought it in about 1952. Nice table dude.

**TheMob** · 01-16-2005, 04:34 PM

I haven't seen it, but everyone has recommended it.

**Wiggles** · 01-16-2005, 04:47 PM

my buddy bought that and said its fucking amazing, i saw the original documentary which was incredible, can't wait to check it out.

**Varius** · 01-16-2005, 04:59 PM

I saw it back when it hit theatres and it was a great movie. That's before I moved to central america, where I can see that stuff on the streets for free now.

**reynold** · 01-16-2005, 05:17 PM

Hmmm...I haven't seen "City of God." I'll try to rent it when I get the chance.

**MattO** · 01-16-2005, 05:18 PM

My Wife's from Rio, she loves that movie.

**TTiger** · 01-16-2005, 05:33 PM
