I've been watching Prison Break, but as for movies:

Last weekend I went to see Smokin Aces.  Was an entertaining belter.  This weekend I'm thinking of going to see The Last King of Scotland.  Will watch Blood Diamond and Babel as well shortly.  Already seen Rocky.

Deja Vu was okay I suppose with Denzel.

I thought Blood diamond was an excellent movie, I'm not Leonardo de caprio's biggest fan but I must say he was brilliant in it. And his accent seemed realistic too. The black fella in it also was good, dont know his name but he's very good in it also.

Well worth watching.

Its about the illegal diamond trade in places like Sierra leone (Africa) and how the moneys used to fund rebal tribes with military weapons.

Some of the diamond rings and jewellery  containing diamonds, ones you'd find in some of the more glamorous of shops in London etc have bought these illegally traded diamonds.

Its based around true stories, and Leonardo plays a diamond smuggler in it, but decides to hand a list of dodgy contacts  to a reporter who wants to expose the trade. Amongst this he also helps an African guy find his family amongst the conflict, with the rebels and government forces.

I better not give too much away :;):

I heard I would never want to wear my diamond ring again If I truly unrailed the gem infrastructure of the world, being that it is largely an illegally operated market,  am i wrong??

It's not bad as a stand alone film but if you've read any of the books, you'll hate it!!!!!
