7lbs or Seven Stars

Will Smith has to be the movie man of the year. His movie career this year has really done him justice and I think audiences all over can look past the cheesy and soppy points the movies he stars in attempts to make and look at the role he played.

Yesterday was opening day for Seven Pounds and although this movie started off slow I would consider it a must see. Not necessarily a tear-jerker, but for those of us who are pathos stricken, this movie will hit you. Seven Pounds takes a completely different approach than I Am Legend, but you have to appreciate the character Smith plays. It's acting at its finest.

But it's been a while since I've been able to look at a movie for what it instead of over analyzing the scene setting, lighting, props diction etc., and I have to give this movie recognition for grabbing my attention (and tears) in spite of.


Sorry Keanu, Will gets seven stars and the Oscar for this one.
