Seven Pounds Movie

If you cried with “Pursuit of Happyness” then Director Gabriele Muccino and Will Smith will make you cry again for sure with Seven Pounds, an upcoming drama movie. Here below a few preview clips of Seven Pounds:

In Gabriele Muccino’s Seven Pounds, Will Smith’s goof is nowhere to be found. It’s been completely, utterly jettisoned, and replaced with teary-eyed Contemplation™, often in loving close-up. The goof that managed to spark even in a dark role like I Am Legend’s Neville has been smothered to ash by pre-fab Chagrin™ and by Smith’s determination to put himself in contention for little golden figurines. The man is stern, now — pay attention. The man is serious, and so is Muccino’s wrenching little drama that re-teams The Pursuit of Happyness’ director and lead for another display of Human Compassion™. Smith is notorious in Pajiba-Land and beyond for having two thespian gears — Selfless Will and Yahoo Will — and Selfless Will has been enshrined in Seven Pounds. If you loved him in Happyness and The Legend of Bagger Vance — if you can stomach the Tenderness™ — you’ll probably find substance, here, and walk away smug about having been moved and properly chastened by Hollywood Morality™. Like many recent lesson-dramas that try to bind us in a headlock, Seven Pounds slogs its own special brand of see what we did there? and demands that viewers open wide and take their medicine neat.

Love Me Again

Here’s a drinking game you can do while watching “Love Me Again (Land Down Under)” starring Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin. Get a drink everytime a character has his back turned while another person is talking to them earnestly. Every major character, including a couple of minor ones, does it in this movie, which is a very cinematic technique but quite overdone.

“Love Me Again”, produced by ABS-CBN’s Star Cinema, does a couple of firsts — it’s the first movie to screen outside the country before its regular theatre run in the Philippines. It is also the first to test the box office mettle of the Piolo-Angel tandem less than a year after their hit “Lobo” television series. Read more
