Rats, I have failed to see either of these films so far.

I recommend them both, if you get a chance...

If you had to chose one, which one would it be?
My hand may be forced on this, BD is showing locally, TLKoS not.

In that case go see BD, it probably won't get the Oscar but it's a good film anyways. :)

We saw Blood Diamond last night, really enjoyed it. I noticed this amusing comment in an Amazon.com review of the film:

"Sporting a very convincing Australian accent, DiCaprio not only sounds like a native from Africa, but his accent is consistent."

Um.

Hehe. Yeah, his accent and acting were pretty good. Arnold Vosloo wasn't bad, although I couldn't quite work out who he was supposed to be.

One of my work colleagues said he saw the film (in which South Africans are mostly portrayed as diamond smugglers or mercenaries) and immmediately thought of me. :)

Well, you do like your bling ;-)

rumint thinks the Vosloo character was modelled after Col. Breytenbach of the 32 Battalion.
