Megalodon (2018)
SyFy Classic
The epitome of a theatrical joyride! A combination of the original Sharknado with the intensity of Jaws, Megalodon kicked off shark week 2018 with a blast... literally. The movie takes place on the USS Shaw, a real navy ship docked off the coast of California, where Navy seamen fight off the biggest shark to have ever existed and as old as time itself. With Ensign Burkhead (Luke Fattorusso) and Capitan Streeper (Dominic Pace) leading the group, they embark on the toughest battle of their lives. From trying to save their crew from the belly of the beast, to escaping Russian attack, this movie excites a palette of true heroism and rings of becoming a new Syfy classic. Not to mention, Michael Madsen is just downright hilarious in it. 10/10 will watch again!
Cidade de Deus (2002)
A psychological thriller that expands traditional thinking of growing up
City of God is one of the first movies I ever watched, or at least remembered watching. This foreign film (to America) depicts what its like growing up in poverty, near Rio De Janeiro, and what it takes to survive these conditions. The lead character explains what it was like being in the trio of "bad" kids from his neighborhood, running from the cops, and stories of his friends at a young age committing mass murder. Our main character finds solace in photography in opposition to gang-banging, which seems to be the norm the rest of the children fall naturally into. The story pans out to illustrate that no one leaves the gang or Rio De Janeiro for that matter, unless they're in a body bag. A structural system of family and friendship does not trump money or greed and is a beautiful picture of how these deadly sins abolish your life.
