Movie Review Monday

Last night I finally watched Seven Pounds with Will Smith. I love Will Smith & it's easy to forget you are watching him. He gets into his character so well. I can see why it didn't do so well at the theater, it is a sad movie that is a bit slow at times but I still recommend it.
Some of the scenes are excellent & Will Smith (Ben Thomas) does a good job as a unhappy tax auditor. Rosario Dawson also starred (remember her from my Edward's 25th Hour?) She plays Emily with a heart problem who becomes very close with Ben.
It deals with suicide so it is a heavy hearted movie but teaches a good lesson.
I can't really give it a grade but I say worth renting-not for kids!!

I saw that at the Redbox machine today & wanted to rent it. (not for Aidan, of course)

I'll have to rent it sometime soon.
I love Will Smith!

I was hoping someone would do a review of this!

I saw this came out on DVD, which made me want to go home and watch The Pursuit of Happyness again. Which I did. Great movie. In my top 5.

John and I watched it on Saturday. It was alright. Definitely slow and not one of my favorite Will Smith movies.

Since we're all apprehensive about this movie, perhaps we should go back & get jiggy with it.
Why not rent the Fresh Prince seasons?
Come on, old school!
