What is The Last Movie You Watched?

I agree with Stavros about Drive. I'd had it recommended but found it a brutal and unpleasant and rather pointless bit of film making.
Not been able to face Tyrannosaur after reading that it opens with an explicit sequence of the main character kicking his pet dog to death.

[Stavros]

You never actually see any contact between foot and dog, nor later in the film when there is an even more shocking incident with another dog, and it is in some scenes a violent film, but always more realistic than in Drive. Worth seeing nevertheless.

[Prospero]

Okay.. well with trepidation I will see it.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives

Just because it says Winner Palme d'Or Cannes Film Festival 2010 on the dvd box doesn't make this film any better or worse, and I suppose it might have the most loving ghosts in cinema, but while beautiful to look at, this for me is a film with no substance. This director seems to have a different approach to film-making, which doesn't go in for narrative and that's ok, its thematic and I understand what he is trying to do, I just don't think it goes deep enough. The water buffalo stole the show, that's how I saw it. And I don't think he was a relative.

Farewell. A nice little thriller in Russian, French and English!

The DVD cover is misleading, though - Willem Dafoe plays a small role in the film...

I agree with Stavros about Drive.

+1. Definitely overrated. I also didn't like the way that Brian Eno music (An Ending from Apollo) was used three times throughout the film? I know it's a lovely piece, but c'mon guys!

The Conversation, re-released on DVD. I am not a great admirer of Coppola, Godfather I and II are great films, but with too many flaws to be anything other than great. I can't think of any other Coppola films worth watching other than this film, which is as serious as Coppola gets. In spite of the advances surveillance technology has made since the 1970s, the film hasn't dated, and the editing gives it an enduring sense of tension and danger. It is also about a control freak who loses control of his own life, an understated but nevertheless powerful performance from Gene Hackman.
