Leonardo DiCaprio is set to play a major role in a new movie about the downfall of Enron. Plans are still in the early stages but reports have it that he is working with Warner Bros. and the studio’s closing up the seven-figure rights deal with Kurt Eichenwald who authored “Conspiracy of Fools”. The popular book written by the New York Times reporter will serve as the strong basis for the film.

DiCaprio’s been working closely with WB as of late, in both “The Departed” and “Blood Diamond, in which his performance in the latter earned him an Oscar nomination this year. Leo’s acting has become increasingly skilled and his delivery is more powerful than we have seen in the past, so I’m predicting that this Enron flick will be edgy and insightful; possibly opening up the public’s eyes more so to the evil of Enron’s crooks than has been in the past.

If you’re wondering about ol’ boy’s role in the aforementioned shebang; he’ll be playing the part of a newly hired employee at the energy company who begins to discover the complex of criminal activity that killed off Enron six years ago.

Count me in for this one. I’ve been thinking for a while now that a movie regarding Enron would be filmed and I’ve got to admit that I think Leonardo’s a good choice for lead actor. He’s not one of my favorites by far, but in this case I have faith he’ll produce a good performance.

For all of you who have been craving one of those uber-cool Nintendo Wii video game consoles, you’re in luck! This Sunday all Best Buys will be stocked with 15 or more, but you’ll need to plan accordingly if you hope to buy a system.

People have generally been camping out as early as midnight to receive Best Buy-issued tickets and get into the store as soon as possible when they crack open the doors. I recommend making a trip to the less-trafficked locations on the outskirts of town, where your chances of picking up a Wii are much greater than say, inside the loop.

If anyone’s manages to score a Wii, let me know. I’m still waiting for Ebay prices to fall
