On the City of God DVD there's an interesting mini-documentary about the actual area the movie was based on (a favela they call it, like a ghetto). It's a crazy place. The police are almost combat soldiers.
A movie I'm looking forward to is The Road. It's supposed to be released Nov 26th or 28 of this year. It's based on the Cormac McCarthy novel. Pretty heavy novel, I'm curious to see how the movie comes across. Viggio Mortenson stars in it.
Another movie I heard about that sounds awesome is going to be called The Fighter (sometime in 2009). It's about the boxer Irish Micky Ward and his half brother. Mark Wahlberg plays Irish Micky and Brad Pitt plays the brother (Dick Englund). The brother (who was also a boxer that once fought Sugar Ray Leonard) was in the HBO High on Crack Street documentary a few years ago.
