During his summer vacation, Brad Land (Ben Schnetzer) tells his brother Brett (Nick Jonas) that he will go home when his crush Leah (Virginia Gardner) leaves the party where they are. Two strangers tell him that they are friends of the owner of the house and ask for a ride. However, Brad is brutally assaulted by the criminals that carjack and rob his bank account. Still shocked, he travels to the university and Brett, who is a member of the Phi Sigma Mu fraternity, tries to convince him not to join the fraternity. However, Brad and his roommate Will (Danny Flaherty) decide to pledge Phi Sigma Mu and along the hell week, they are submitted with the other candidates to a hazing with several tortures and humiliations. The leaders Chance (Gus Halper), Dixon (Jake Picking) and Baity (Eric Staves) are very brutal and when Will dies of heart attack while running, but shows several bruises on his body, there is an investigation and Brad is accused of being a rat.
Based on a true story, "Goat" (2016) is a brutal and disturbing story about the fraternity hazing of an American University. The film is very well acted with a magnificent unknown cast. Only James Franco is famous, and his participation is a cameo. It is amazing how the elite students of a nation may be so stupid and violent. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Trote" ("The Hazing")

In Salem's Lot, in the south of Maine, the local R. T. Straker (Pilou Asbæk) hires two men to bring a heavy crate to the basement of the Mansion Marsten. What they do not know is that the vampire Kurt Barlow (Alexander Ward) is inside the box. Meanwhile, the writer Ben Mears (Lewis Pullman) returns to his hometown Salem's Lot after many years in New York City to research the Mansion Marsten. He befriends and dates the local Susan Norton (Leigh Makenzie), who lives in Boston but returned to the town since her father was very sick and died, and now she is spending a period giving support to her mother. The friends Mark Petrie (Jordan Preston Carter), Danny Glick (Nicholas Crovetti) and his brother Ralphie (Cade Woodward) are at Mark's house, who is a newcomer in town. When the brothers return home, they walk along an isolated path and Straker kidnaps Ralphie for Barlow. Soon the boy turns into a vampire and attacks his brother Danny that attacks the gravedigger Mike Ryerson (Spencer Treat Clark), in the beginning of a vampire spree at Jerusalem's Lot. Now Ben, Susan, Mark, the teacher Matt Burke (Bill Camp), the coroner Dr. Cody (Alfre Woodard) and the alcoholic Father Callahan (John Benjamin Hickey) are the only hope to save the town from the vampires.
"Salem's Lot" (2024) is a traditional vampire movie underrated in IMDb, where the vampires fear cross, holy water, sunlight, wood stake and need to be invited to enter a house. The plot is funny and entertaining and there is no need for gore. The vampire master is more powerful, but that is OK. The character Mark Petrie steals the show with his performance of a bold and courageous boy that defies the vampires. My vote is seven.

The DEA has a meeting at Walt's high school to say that they believe there are other people involved in the theft of the laboratory's components. Walt and Jesse have a tense meeting with Tuco in a junkyard and Walt promises the kingpin to provide four pounds of crystal meth in one week. Jesse says later that one chemical component is the neck of the bottle to make four pounds, but Walt proposes an alternative method of fabrication. But there is the need of a component, and they break into a warehouse to steal a metallic cask from a pharmaceutical company. There is a baby shower for Skyler and her sister Marie gives an expensive tiara to the baby. Skyler decides to go to the shop to pick up the money for another shopping and learns that Marie is a shoplifter. Walt learns how brutal Tuco is.
"A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal" is the last episode of the First Season of "Breaking Bad". As usual, it has funny and dramatic moments. Walt and Skyler having sex in his car is one of the funny moments. Walt and Jess stealing the cask from the warehouse is another. I believe these moments are necessary since the themes cancer and drug and repulsive, and the author certainly has the intention of relieving the viewer. Amazing how we viewers like and cheer for a character that has cancer and makes crystal meth to deal with drug dealers. I was surprised to learn that RJ Mitte has cerebral palsy like his character Walter White Jr. My vote is eight.
