This movie is set in the 1990s during the civil war in Sierra Leone. Danny Archers (Leonardo Dicaprio) and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) lives are brought together by a need to find a "blood diamond" which was buried in the jungle by Solomon whilst he was working in the diamond fields. Both have different agendas but both need to find the diamond to save what is most important to them, for Solomon its his family and Danny its himself. This is a powerful movie full of adrenaline and emotion. The part of the movie which affect you the most is the maipulation of young boys to become soldiers and to believe in a cause that in the end will not help or save them. This is much better than the departed and should have won best movie at the latest academy awards. A must see even for the people who do not like war or 'gun' movies.

ladder 49
Review
Ladder 49 is a fantastic movie. It follows the career of Jack, a fireman who loves his job. What plagues Jack is the impact his choice of career has, or potentially has, on his family. It is well acted with John Travolta doing a fantastic job as Jacks' boss.

Night at the museum
Review
Night at the museum was a very funny and enjoyable movie. Many people have mentioned that they have not taken their children to see this movie because it appeared too scary. This movie was not scary at all and was very appropriate for children, especially boys from 5-8 years.
The movie was about a father who takes a job as a night watchman at the museum of natural history. At night all the displays come alive due to a curse. The story revolves around the night watchman and how he interacts with the characters and how together they eliminate the curse. As with all disney movies it is predicable, harmless and wholesome.
If you are looking for a movie to watch together as a family and cannot cope with another animated movie then I would recommend this one.
Ages 5 - Adult

Human trafficking
Review
Human trafficking is currently my number 1 must see movie. It has been a long time since I have seen a movie that has made me think about the world we live in as much as this movie did.
As the title suggests this movie is about the world wide industry of human trafficking. It demonstrates how easily women and children can be lured and trapped into this destructive and devastating situation.
The support actors are fantastic in their portrayal of prostitutes, brothel owners and family members. The lead actors are less convincing but that does not take away the impact this movie has on the viewer.
This movie is lengthy and should be watched only when you have time to regain your thoughts as its impact leaves you thinking for ages.
This movie is not for the faint hearted or those who like feel good movies.

I found it difficult to comprehend that 800000 people are trafficked every year world wide. Not only is it the prostitutes who are involved but also the consumers of this service and the people who are responsible for assisting and maintaining the trafficking. Therefore the numbers of people involved is enormous.
