But this wasn't just a ho-hum movie - it was a masterpiece called "SEVEN POUNDS" with Will Smith in the lead role.

Now I must say this outright - when we decided what movie to go to, I didn't know too much about the show. From the previews, I thought it was a tax man who was investigating people, making good and lasting impressions on their life. A good storyline - but not the type that just reaches out and grabs you.
Blame it on the advertising for the movie - but in hindsight, I now understand they could not reveal too much in previews without giving away some important details as the movie plays out.
I also determined myself (in advance) NOT to review or dig up any information about the background on the film - I wanted to be caught totally off guard.
Holy smokes - what I saw nearly blew my socks off!! This movie has been on my mind all night and (as you can see) STILL leaves a lasting impression on my mind and heart.
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a huge favor: clear just 2 hours out of your calendar this weekend and GO directly to the theatre. Do not read any reviews, do not research the movie online. GO - with no other indication about the film except that it will rock your world ... and *minor detail* .... grab a handful of kleenex as you head out the door.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie - I am so glad that I started 2010 with the sentiment that this movie has left on my heart!

2010? Did I miss a year here Cookie? lol
My Sissy saw it a couple of weeks ago and said it was REALLY good - it's just getting Bill to GO to a movie that's the hard part! He seems to always fall asleep within 5 minutes after one's started, no matter how good it is - UNLESS it has John Wayne in it...lol
Happy New Year Girlie!
hahaha... I'm such a Goober - and all this time you thought Peanut's nicname for me was just a sweet jab, little did you know she had me pegged YEARS ago! hahaha I'm still laughing about it, Sissy!
Happy New Year Cookie! I'm glad you enjoyed your NYE!
I knew by the previews that this movie must be something special because they do not give any details about what the movie really is about...and you have to figure if Will Smith is in it...it must be good..I've wanted to see this movie....and now I am definitely going to see it! Thank Cook...You've got me excited about it!
Happy, Happy New Year to you!
