I'm not sure if you'll like this movie, but I recently rented Takeshi Kitano's Zatiochi and thought the story interesting and entertaining. It is...violent , but I think it's one of his best.

Although not a new release, ''The Life Of David Gale'' is a must I think.

Princess said about "City of God"
I rented this one based on a thread months ago where Mega recommended it. I HATED it. Yuk. Steve liked it but didn't love it. I found it depressing and miserable. I guess being a mother might make it more difficult to watch due to excessive violence at an early age. These children had horrible lives. Awful awful move. IMHO of course.
LOL. I should add I like gritty realism. I didn't find it depressing at all, but uplifting in that someone could actually escape the conditions of their birth. To each their own. For us movie snobs there is "City of God." For the rest of you there is Adam Sandler. lol.

You can't be dissing Adam. At least you know a snob when you see one.

Given what Billygoat has said about her tastes in movies on other threads, I'm not sure I'd recommend City of God - this movie has some *very* disturbing scenes, and I am cautious about recommending it to anybody! I enjoyed it though. I'd say the same about Osama - no happy ending there for sure.
I'll second Garden State - good film.

Dan, I agree with you on Osama. The movie left me quiet at the end, and grateful I don't live under extremist muslim rule. However, it was very well done, acting, set, directing, etc.
The remake of Alfie was good. It amazed me how much Jude Law reminds me of (brain derailment here) the original actor. It had some great music in it too written/performed by Mick Jagger.
