While we're on the subject of DiCaprio, I recently saw him in "This Boy's Life", which is a really old movie, but it was quite good. You should check it out.Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397377310079806770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-22327927323544880012007-01-31T11:38:00.000-08:002007-01-31T11:38:00.000-08:00Lauren: Awesome, I'm looking forward to receiving ...Lauren: Awesome, I'm looking forward to receiving the copy, thanks again!

You should consider seeing it, not sure my friends liked it as much as I did.<br /><br />Sonja: Oh yeah, the bookstore is one of my favorite places!<br /><br />Fringes: That's a movie I want to see! I don't have enough time to see all these movies, there're so many good ones too.<br /><br />Tara: That's true, he was really good in that. I saw that movie on tv a while back.<br /><br />Omninaif: Haha, Dicaprio would have made for a great elf! That is a great idea for Borders, threaten them with lawsuits if they try to kick you out!<br /><br />Hedy: Go see some movies! Seems like there's too many good ones though...<br /><br />Glorious: I will make sure to see the Departed, first thing once it's out on DVD.<br /><br />Silver: You are so right. He has a ton of talent, and he really did a superb job in the film.<br /><br />Mariana: Thanks Mariana! Yeah, it is so wonderful to just get out every once in a while. And hopefully it's going to just become more and more often!<br /><br />Mrmanuel: Ok, I am dying to see the Departed! Everyone is raving about it.<br /><br />Babs: I might be a stronger man than you, but I am also a marked man now. Yes, Dicaprio still looks exceedingly young...<br /><br />Jos: Hey Jos! Well you know, most times I'm not strong and must cave in to the temptation!<br /><br />WAT: He's definitely going to get an oscar one of these years. It's true, there is something about his face, and maybe it is his eyes, kinda odd looking. <br /><br />Faz: Yeah! Exactly my sentiments! Sometimes the moralizing in the films gets a little too heavy handed, but I thought it was ok, not too too bad.Sebastien Millonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384643621878633512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-13146475706938028572007-01-30T09:50:00.000-08:002007-01-30T09:50:00.000-08:00I normally hate films about Africa as I find them ...I normally hate films about Africa as I find them so depressing but I thought Blood Diamond was excellent.

Leo has truly grown into a fine fine actor. And not bad looking either, although kind of odd on the eyes at times.<br /><br />He is destined for Oscar gold someday. Maybe not this year though.WAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265139894543519211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-61223850738396976402007-01-29T22:12:00.000-08:002007-01-29T22:12:00.000-08:00am going to watch blood diamond this saturday. jus...am going to watch blood diamond this saturday. just hope it's good. well, at least i heard it was good.<br /><br />and you manage to go to a bookstore without getting anything? man, you must be good. every time i go into one, i come out with less money than i came in.. the temptation's too much for me apparently..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-54661396370449317762007-01-29T21:04:00.000-08:002007-01-29T21:04:00.000-08:00You left Border's without buying anything?

Now finally he's starting to get more complicated roles and showing his skills and finally getting the credit that is long deserved.Nikki Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699784181113365713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-71805716043952659722007-01-29T13:05:00.000-08:002007-01-29T13:05:00.000-08:00Glad you got out and went to the movies.
