Sinopsis
A docufiction film about the fall of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, widely known as Lampião – the mythical bandit leader from the Brazilian northeast who fought the local power and put his name in history.
'Bruce' goes to head with bandits who are terrorising and murdering villagers.
This is a remake of Brazil's first international success in the cinema world. Just as its same name predecessor was, this film is a fictional version of the story of the "cangaceiros." These were bandits who sacked towns and spread terror throughout Northeastern Brazil in the 1930s. This group of outlaws is led by Captain Galdino and his wife Maria Bonita.
A man seeks revenge after his sister get raped by an unknown foreign, identified only by scar and a missing finger. But his payback journey is a long way and bears its surprises.
In the time of the "cangaceiros" in the badlands of the Northeast of Brazil, the cruel Captain Galdino Ferreira and his band abduct the schoolteacher Olívia, expecting to receive a ransom for her. However, one of his men, Teodoro, falls in love and flees with her through the arid backcountry chased by the brigands.
A Lebanese photographer living in Brazil in the '30s manages to film the band of Lampião, a legendary Brazilian bandit.
Brazil, the 1920s. The sadistic colonel Minas massacres the hometown of a famous cangaceiro (a kind of revolutionary bandit). The only survivor is a young farmer called Espedito; he is nursed back to health by a (crazy?) hermit who thinks he has been sent (= espedito) by God and therefore baptizes him the Redeemer. Espedito/The Redeemer forms his own gang of cangaceiros but doesn’t really understand what he’s doing until he befriends the proverbial European intellectual, a Dutch Oil prospector, who introduces him to important people. Espedito is hired (and of course double-crossed) by the Dutchman and a corrupt local governor, but then the Dutchman changes sides …
Based on the novel by Franklin Távora, the film follows the adventures of a father and a son in 18th century Brazil.

En 1972 se estrenó una película que convulsionó la realidad social estadounidense: Garganta Profunda. Estrenada en el mismo momento en que los movimientos nacionales para la liberación sexual, la igualdad de derechos y los valores contraculturales estaban alcanzando su punto álgido, esta película sexualmente explícita se convirtió inesperadamente en el epicentro de una tormenta social y política sin precedentes. El gobierno de Nixon y el FBI iniciaron una cruzada contra la película y sus creadores. Inside Deep Throat (Dentro de Garganta Profunda) es un documental en el que los directores Randy Barbato y Fenton Bailey nos proponen un viaje a los años 70, a la situación social, cultural y política de los norteamericanos, y al intenso impacto que provocó una película pornográfica, cuyo título llegó incluso a servir de referente al escándalo de Watergate que acabó costando la presidencia a Nixon.
Director James Toback takes an unflinching, uncompromising look at the life of Mike Tyson--almost solely from the perspective of the man himself. TYSON alternates between the controversial boxer addressing the camera and shots of the champion's fights to create an arresting picture of the man.
Johnny Knoxville y el resto del reparto de la serie de televisión "Jackass" realizan las hazañas más escandalosas y divertidas en Japón, donde se disfrazan de pandas y atacan un campo de golf mas intensas que en la TV.
¡Han vuelto! En una película con todo el material que no pudieron incluir en la número dos. Te reirás hasta llorar y desencajar tu mandíbula a medida que Johny Knoxville y los chicos te introducen entre bambalinas con Jackass 2.5, hablando de estas increíbles e inéditas acrobacias, bromas y otros actos aleatorios de malicia y estupidez en unas hilarantes entrevistas nuevas. 90 minutos de metraje extra y de contenidos especiales. Jackass 2.5 es tan insólito, sucio y directamente sexy como sus predecesores, pero a unos niveles que no podrían verse en los cines.
El formato Jackass, donde Johnny Knoxville y sus amigos se someten al peligro de forma voluntaria, se adapta al cine 3D. En su primera semana en USA ha obtenido un enorme éxito de taquilla: nada menos que 50 millones de dólares, la película con mejor entrada del otoño 2010.
