Just came from a free sneak preview. b, 21b, 21Will Smith = tied with Leo DiCaprio for worst actor of his generation b, 21Rosario Dawson = quite an underrated actress and does wonders with a dull cliched roleb, 21Everything else = pretty much a waste of 2 hours but a great PSA for organ donationb, 21b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ehhzu7.gif" alt="" 21

    b, 21Frankly, though, I don???t see how any review could really spoil what may be among the most transcendently, eye-poppingly, call-your-friend-ranting-in-the-middle-of-the-night-just-to-go-over-it-one-more-time crazily awful motion pictures ever made. I would tell you to go out and see it for yourself, but you might take that as a recommendation rather than a plea for corroboration. Did I really see what I thought I saw?

    has anyone seen Rosario Dawson's passion project entitled "The Descent"? She produced it and made it happen. It's a major turd and reaches a pretty wtf moment at the end.

    Scott's review is rather awesome. And having read the spoiler of the film, I can see where he's coming from.

    LEBEOUF IS A LEGEND IN MY MINDGARDEN
  • soulmarcosasoulmarcosa 4,296 Posts
    The "twist" in SEVEN POUNDS was easily guessed within the first 25 minutes of the movie, which then left you with another 1.5 hours to see if there was anything else interesting in store. There isn't. Despite that, there was APPLAUSE at the end of screening I saw, though the fact I viewed it at the Glendale Americana venue explains that. I mean, there's a miniature Eiffel Tower right outside the theatre. Anyone impressed by that would probably proclaim SEVEN POUNDS a masterpiece.b, 21b, 21BTW - I AM A BOY AND HIS DOG LEGEND took an amazing thought-provoking book that spawned not one but two enjoyable film adaptations and reduced it to a brainless shoot-and-run action dud. With sensitive Bob Marley listening sessions of course. Pretty much unforgivable.
