The three movies I am inching to see are.

Dreamgirls (opts been thwarted twice already )

Blood Diamond (I love Djimon Hounsou's acting )

Pursuit of Happiness (I saw the red carpet interviews and I love Will, Jada and the babies ).

 

[DotTheEyes]

The Pursuit of Happyness was a very good movie. Definitely Will Smith's best acting ever.

And Blood Diamond and Dreamgirls are near masterpieces.
