Blood Diamond Review
Important but flawed indictment of "conflict diamonds" is a bit too self-righteous when it should let the facts speak for themselves.

I’m as surprised as anyone to hear me say that this sixth installment in the "Rocky" franchise is one of the best of the bunch: a fitting, bittersweet bookend to the classic underdog story.
Unapologetically low-brow videogame adaptation about a mysterious martial arts competition and the scantily clad women who attend it. As these movies go, this one kicks butt.
Scattershot misstep from Christopher Guest and his troupe takes a pointed but angry look at Hollywood’s award obsession.
Will Ferrell gets his "Truman Show" in this uneven dramedy about a man with a voice-over in his head.
Beautiful nonsense from visionary director Darren Aronofsky which is liable to stay with you for longer than you’d expect.
Neither gory enough to be a full-on horror movie nor exciting enough to be a full-on thriller, John Stockwell’s vacation-gone-horribly-awry film is stuck somewhere in between.
With this sweeping melodrama of royal intrigue in 10th century China, Zhang Yimou might have finally gone a bit too far.
Typically slick thriller from director Tony Scott features an atypically preposterous time travel plotline, but as the title implies, there’s nothing here you haven’t seen before.
James Bond has awakened as an edgy hardboiled fellow that knows how to fight evil and act at the same time.
