Anyone seen owt decent recently?

Watched 'Drive the other day and loved it, got a very 80s feel to it.

'Tree of Life' is utterly insane, beautiful to watch and once you are done it's incredible, but still mental.

Anything else worth watching?

The Debt was excellent, but I doubt it'll be shown in cinemas in the UAE. Apparently The Devil's Double is good, but I haven't had a chance to see that yet.

Watched Storm Warning last night on OSN. Very good. But quite gruesome. Not for the fainthearted...

No Country For Old Men.

A tale of how not to get involved with what shouldn't concern you. It's a shocking, time-bomb of a movie with a brutal, almost Old Testament nerve-wracking moral feel.

Not one for the faint hearted.

As it won several Oscars a few years back, I'm guessing that most film addicts would have watched it already.

Try "Fish Tank" from a couple of years ago. Gritty film set in Essex, but what a performance from the lead actress.

Some recommendations:

Chico and Rita - a vibrant, jazz fuelled animation depicting a tale of lost love in 1940s Cuba, brilliant.

Senna - Even if the subject matter does not float your boat, it is a very well made documentary with a story that will blow you away.

Source Code - an intelligent action thriller from the director of Moon, Duncan Jones, which should also be seen if you haven't yet.

Monsters - amazing low budget monster movie, well worth considering.

Four Lions - you won't find it in the shops... Wickedly funny with more laugh out loud moments than I've had in years.

I thought Source Code was rather annoying and the ending was too predictable. Couldn't finish watching Four Lions as the protagonists were just too idiotic.

I didn't see the ending coming, as it went against the central "science" of the plot. Nowhere near as predictable as 99% of Hollywood movies.
