DVD Tuesday: “City of Men” DVD Release and Giveaway (x3)
Update– Congrats to GearCrave readers CJ, Aaron and Allison, you’ve won a free copy of City of Men. You’ll be emailed shortly!
Fernando Meirelles’s film City of God is an all-time favorite of ours. If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to bump it to the top of your Netflix queue, buy the DVD or (gasp!) drive to your local video rental store. On the international success of City of God comes City of Men, a film that takes us back to the wrong side of paradise for a new and different story. City of Men tells the story of two close friends now divided by a dark secret– and forced on either side of a gang war in the slums of Rio De Janeiro. Fans of City of God won’t find a sequel in City of Men, but a new tale all its own rife with the familiar struggles with violence and perseverance. Continue reading, GearCravers, to learn how you can win one of three copies of City of Men on DVD from GearCrave and Miramax. [trailer]
Buy: $19.99

City of God was awesome, I bet City of Men will be just as entertaining and well written and full of depth and character development.

City of God was a wonderful movie, even if CoM is half as good it will be great.

Huge fan of City of God and Meirelles’s, have been waiting for more from him for a long time (constant gardner didn’t give enough). While I was able to catch some of the tv show City of Men on Sundance, it lacked the cohesion and driving story of City of God, but I’m sure this follow-up will have it. It took me months of listening to raving friends before I finally saw City of God, but I’m not going to make that mistake again. The real question is whether I can hold out on buying (probably gonna rent this weekend), with the small chance I win a copy!

City Of God is top three all time on my list (fight club, pulp fiction) When I heard there was another City of movie I was dying to see it. God I should win this

I’d like to win a copy in order to restore my faith in sites that promise things they never deliver or at least show me GrearCrave is different.
I also wouldn’t mind finding a new favorite as I have not seen either one of the two movies and am also losing faith in finding new ones I like!
In general, my desire to win is a faith issue!

I saw City of God in my Sociology class and it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I not much interested in dramatic films but this one was just awesome. I really want see City of Men so I would be able to make a research paper out of it as I had done for City of God. I hope I win a copy of this great film.
