Tropa de Elite. Happens to be one of two favourite Brazilian films of mine; the other being City of God (Y)

 

Watch the sequel, it's pretty great. Less gunfights but a very engaging story, especially if you know a bit about Brazil. A 3rd movie would be great.

I've watched it many times and yep, just as great as the first film with Wagner Moura's exceptional acting - just happens to be more political, if anything. I'd love to see the series topped off with a 3rd film too.

It's an evolving portrait and commentary about Brazil. First the violence, then the corruption, and it can only go up from there. A 3rd movie focused on the current troubles with the World Cup, which mirror some of the issues of the Pope's visit referred to in the first movie (BOTA NA CONTA DA COPA!), would be something special.

I agree, though I wonder who could fill the shoes of Matias/Neto alongside Nascimento.

Maybe they advance the movie a couple of years and we see it from the perspective of Rafael, as a student involved in the protests. (If the producers use this, I WANT CREDIT!)

Much like Thor 2, the Captain America sequel improves greatly upon the foundation laid by the first one. Solid, entertaining, fun, and a kick-ass superhero movie (like all of them should be). Give it a watch. (There are 2 after the credits scenes, stick around)

True Grit (2010)

 

7.5/10

 

It's a coen movie. I loved them back in the days of Fargo, Lebowski, Brother and the man who was not there but i think these days they are as overrated as Woody Allen. It's a good movie it's just too much coenesque filled with useless boring dialogs which are not bringing anything to the story and unlike Fargo most of them are not funny at all.

 

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

 

7.5/10

 

I really loved this movie. I don't say that often but i think it's better than the first. Never read the book so can't say if it follows the book or not. My fan score would be between 8 and 8.5. But there's obvious flaws and there's too much of them. This serie could have been the new Star Wars but sadly the script is too much shallow and PG13esque.

 

You're Next (2011)

 

5.5/10

 

Had potential. That's it. Too much holes in the script the more the movie progress to worse it is.

The Way Way Back (2013)

 

7/10

 

Nice coming of age. Just nothing special but definately worth a watch if you like this kind of movies.

 

Winter's Bone (2010)

 

7/10

 

I'm still not sure if this movie was about a bunch of Aliens or Humans. Are rednecks really acting like this? If i had to deal with people that dumb and antisocial i would quickly lose it.

 If you're going to scrutinize whether it follows the KJV Bible then you will be disappointed. If you are going to see it because it is a great story, great effects and great acting, then you will be pleased.

Concept was intriguing, acting superb, unexpected ending.  Nice ass kicking scenes.  Tarantino-ish plot directed by Spike Lee.

Josh Brolin goes into Jason Statham mode.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
