Blood Diamond

Where do the diamonds come from, and what does it take to get them?
Why is there blood in the title. I would say because of many things. Not only that the diamonds are smuggled in lambs (so they are literally in their blood) but there is also much blood spilled because of them.
Most of the weapon that is used in fights in Africa is payed by diamonds and that is just because some people like them so much that they would pay fortune for them.
As the movie says they are not so rare as some believe. But merchants want them to be expensive so they get more money out of people.
The movie shows us also how the children in Africa are abused and forced to fight and kill.
The movie makes you think how some people are just bad and how they are doing damage to many others.

Hannibal Rising

I must say this is popular.
First there was Batman. Then followed some others. And now here is Hannibal.
I hope we all know The Silence of the Lambs. The first movie where we get to know Hannibal Lecter. The cruel doctor who kills bad people and even eats some parts of them. but why did he get like that.
Well here is the answer to the question. Watch this movie.
It's a great movie that shows horrors of second world war and what concequences have some people because of that. How horror is not always that horrible to some people and why some people are capable of doing things that other are not.
I must say that I enjoyed this movie.

Dreamgirls

Musical after a long while. And who is playing in it? Eddie Murphy.
The movie shows what is going on in the music industry, how it is not always what artists want but what the public wants from them. How can a manager turn the things to move and where is the money coming from.
All of this in just one movie. And it fits together very well. We can also see how those that have talent are not as popular as the ones that have looks. How drugs are problems in music industry and why they are problem (because the artists are forced to do something they do not want too).
The story is great and the act is performed good too.
Nice movie to watch and especially to hear.

Rocky Balboa

What can I say. The move that made Sly famous and tells how an old man can still fight young ones.
I would like to think it is the end of Rocky series. Sly still has the edge.
Enough said.

Smokin' Aces

Who will kill him first.
A movie about a man that is a crucial witness in a great mob affair. Many people want him dead and many people will pay for his dead. He is protected by FBI and they are guarding him. But almost none know why are they really guarding him. It is because his father needs a new heart and they want to make sure he will get one, so he can testifies against many more people then just his son.
It is a very complex story and a very cruel movie. But good one.

Highlander - The Source

Another movie from about Highlander, immortals that are leaving around us.
In this part they are seeking the source that is making them all immortal and that will make them go to eternity.
Not a really good movie. It is seed that it is a lo budged movie. I liked the series the most, the movies are just bad try.
The actors are the same, at least the main group of them.

300

Now something about movies as I promised few days back.

The 300 is a great movie. Not just because it has a great story about a 300 Spartan soldiers that are defending the Greece from Persians. But it is not as many other history spectacles that only shows how it was back then but is filmed after the comic with same title. And that is how it is presented . The scenes in the movie are so great and well taken that it is hard to breath. The story is very good and tells of what is crossing the mind of warriors on both sides.
On the other hand you can also find a deeper meaning in there. How did Spartans think, what was war for them and how good were they really at it.

I must say one of better movies lately.

Heroes

Did I said that I have poisoned with Prison Break.
Well ... That was not the only poison I tried recently. I have also tried Heroes. It is another series but there is only one season out. And even that one is not at the end. And it is great. Quite different then Prison Break but still great indeed.
Can't wait for next episode to come out.

Prison Break

As I told you my main occupation was WoW. But it was surely not the only one. I have poisoned my self with a breaking new series (on top of all the older ones) Prison Break.
Since there are two complete seasons out now I had to catch up with it and so I watched complete 1st season in just one and a half day. The other half of the second day was of course dedicated to the second season.
So what do you mean I thing of the Series.
It is surely boring as hell - NOT!
I have really enjoyed every part of it. So go watch it whole or do not watch it at all.

Slow Burn

A black assistant district attorney is a suspect of a murder. She is telling that she killed in self deffence and that she is not guilty and that she was rapped. Her boss who also slept with her last night wants to quiet down the news and is trying to get to the bottom of the story. It gets stranger and stranger as district attorney is getting closer to the truth.
The story is very complex and drags you in. But it all shows at the end and everybody knows what was it all about.
Nice movie.

Stranger then Fiction

What can I say about this movie.
I liked it. It talks about a man that one day realizes that he lives just like he would be the character in a book. He hears a narrator how she is commenting his life and moves. He just can't stand it any more. He tries to resist to get away and do nothing, so he would not be a poppet anymore. But he does not succeed.
The narrator finds him every time and puts him back in the middle of the story. He investigates who might the narrator be and finds out that she is a world famous novel writer and that all main characters in her book die. He wants to find her and stop her from killing him.
At the end he actually meets her.

Long time no typing on my blog

What can I say.
I have started to work, but of course that is not an excuse. I'm addicted to WoW.

Hi my name is Ciril and I'm a WoW addict.

Just can't help it.
Well to be honest it is not that hard really. I have started to work on my Diploma thesis. I'm researching the field of human computer interface using simple web cam. I would like to build an interface that would not need an pointer but would use some other cooperation of human.
Well enough of these.
I'll write some movie and series reviews now.
Hope I won't be so lazy again.
