At least for individual film threads I can stay away if I don't want to know anything about it.

True, but in the literacy thread we do fine without the spoilers, as long as the posters are sensible....

See Babel if you want to be preached at (i.e. if you loved Crash); see Blood Diamond if you want an entertaining 'action' movie with an issue at the back of it.

yep definitely, started liking him from "catch me if you can" for some reason, but two stunning films back to back, quickly climbing up my favourite actors list.

Just some thoughts on 2 films I saw today:

1. Weather man
Enjoyed it thoroughly and found it quite good, funny at times. From what I've heard about it on reviews it was supposed to be dire, but it didn't get boring, it kept the consistency throughout. Not a outstanding film though, just alright.

2. Blood Diamond
Very entertaining, preachy messages in it, but it was so convincing I didn't feel like I was being preached. Both actors excellent, as well as Jennifer connelly. Every time I look at diamond I'll be reminded of this film, for sure.

Same. A lot of people forget he actually he was nominated for an Oscar 3 years before Titanic.
