The Protector is better as far as action sequences, but it is even worse as far as story/plot goes (believe it or not).

I love 'em both.

I went and saw The Lives Of Others tonight. You know, the movie that just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film?



Was it good? Yeah. Definitely.
Was it better than Pan's Labyrinth? **** no.

OK, I need to know one thing about Blood Diamond. His accent in the trailers made me turn to a friend and go "Is this serious... is he being serious... he's not just ****ing around?" Does it work in the context of the movie, can you let it go? Cause... my God was it awful in those previews.

If that's how you felt about the previews, then the movie will drive you nuts. His accent is terrible!!

This movie was great!

This was pretty good.

I have yet to see it...but I do know the Afrikaans accent is not the easiest thing in the world to nail down. That being said, the previews made me say "wtf" every time I heard him say anything. Also, a friend of mine who knows someone from South Africa said Leo's accent wasn't THAT bad. So...whatever.

Gonna watch The Departed and finally check out Inconvenient Truth this weekend.
