I went to see Will Smith's "Seven Pounds" this weekend and I have to say this is one of the BEST if not the best movies I have seen in 2008. I keep saying Will Smith is the new age Denzel Washington. This movie you really will be at the edge of your seat as you piece the movie together but when it all comes into light you will be amazed. This movie will deff. have you come out of the theater with a better appreciation of your own life. The movie was so touching you might leave with a tear in the corner of your eye. If you have not seen this movie this is the #1 movie you need to go see right now. I rate this movie 10/10 and I'm deff. buying this when it comes out on DVD and I hardly buy DVD's. Hat's off to "Seven Pounds" as its easily my favorite movie of 2008.

I was reading some magazine's top 500 movies of all time lists and not one of Will Smith's films was on it. It got me to thinking that despite all of his success and how much money his films make he really doesn't have a truly great movie on his resume. Most of what he does is summer blockbusters that gross hundreds of millions but he doesn't have a defining movie, role, or line in his entire body of work.he is the most bankable movie star in the world at the moment.
but being a movie star is not just about being the biggest at the box office.
it is about making films and creating characters that stand the test of time. That have a significant impact on film,
Hanks has done it.
Ford has done it.
Cruise has done it.
Depp has done it.
Denzel has done it.
Redford had done it.
Newman has done it.
Poitier has done it.
McQueen has done it.
Pitt has done it.
Eastwood has done it.
Nicholson has done it.
DeNiro has done it.
Pacino has done it.
Morgan Freeman has done it.
several of the folks on that list have not made nearly as much money as Smith at the box office, but Smith has not created one single iconic role or film, and all the characters on that list have.
so far he has not made one solitary "great" film...
everyone on that list has made several.
told you soo..ha
Will? the new Denzel. He can't act as well as Denzel. No way. He's more of a "brand" than Denzel is...that's why he sells out the box office every time. Denzel doesn't do that.
Denzel > Will
The end.
