For you to consider

Blood Diamond = Apocalypse Now

I liked the movie, was really into the violence & plot, and thought that the script was actually good. It moved along nicely. But I was struck with the thought that Blood Diamond is very much similar to Apox Now.

Also, we watched the Black Donnelly's last night. Good show!

This is one of many movies I want to see.

Apox Now was based on Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" (one of my favorite short stories - electronic version here: http://etext.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/ConDark.html).

So if Blood Diamond is similar, sounds interesting!
