Author Topic: Blood Diamond (2006) Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-14-2006 04:39 PM                     I went to this movie just with the trailer. I was not disappointed. This was one of the best movies I've seen this year. The views were stunning. It was perfect in Scope. 4/5  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 12-15-2006 11:18 PM                     This is indeed one of the better movies I have seen recently. Although I say Leonardo was better in The Departed, he's pretty good here also. For some reason I thought Jennifer Connelly was pretty hot in this.  |  IP: Logged Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-16-2006 05:12 PM                     DeCaprios accent was dreadful!!!!  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 12-16-2006 05:42 PM                     His accent during the trailer is the single reason I have not watched this movie. "In America it's bling-bling, but over here it's bling-bang." That line, and the way it was delivered, almost made me vomit.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Anderson Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Tyler, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 12-17-2006 02:40 PM                     It's legit South African; the Academy will give him kudos for it (as it was actually pretty good). Better than Kevin Costner would do ..  |  IP: Logged Paul Burt Film Handler Posts: 46 From: San Francisco, CA, United States Registered: Apr 2006 posted 01-07-2007 11:39 AM                     I thought it was the best of this years crop of African Nightmare movies (Catch a Fire, Last King of Scotland, Hotel Rwanda) although nothing compares to Forrest Whitaker's turn as Idi Amin.  |  IP: Logged
