7 Pounds is a heavy weight!

I must begin this by saying this is one Christmas that I will never forget.

Never in my life have I seen a movie in which the entire audience asked the person sitting next to them did you cry. That is something that is beyond me but was warranted in every way possible. As I am sitting there with my head tilted towards the screen all I can think of is WOW and WTF for a lack of a better expression.

7 Pounds was more surprise and less filler, and that is what a film aught to be. Since I began following will smiths career I knew he had it in him to act, but this is beyond film making this is a story that can be read into and will be talked about for years to come.

The humanity in the lead character causes you to look within yourself and begs of you to ask yourself. What have you done as of late to manifest good in other? What have you done to make sure that those around you have fruitful lives? Are you doing everything in your power to give others a chance? Now I do not recommend taking things as far as he has, that is a decision that you will make all on your own. However, I do ask that you take a deep looks into your soul and grab for that which causes you to reflect, and use what you come up with to manifest good in others.

Sitting in the movie theater on Christmas day was not my goal for the day, however, there was a gift given to me that I must re-gift. The only way I know how to do this is to share my respect of this great film. It is unlike anything you have ever seen. It will go down in history and will be a classic, and it will be dissected, and if it is not by some slim margin, I will make it my duty to guarantee this film is never forgotten, you can count my words and believe that for sure.

Will Smith production company speared not ideas in this one. I see Overbrook Entertainment go as far as to being a powerhouse filled with ideas that will make the company just a famous as its head star.

See this film and realize the possibility for our and your own humanity and then pay it forward.

Rosario Dawson Rape scene

Rosario Dawson is a name you will here a lot more of over the next few years. However I want to say if you do not it is because of a lack of Hollywood and forward thinking. This actress has delivered the goods time and time again and by no means is it based on her appearance. Her talent surpasses that of many and it is high time that those produces put down there pinot noir and spliffs and pick up a clue.

Take a second to see why I feel this way about her work. In my movie to reconsider 'Descent'.

Movie to reconsider ::: 'Descent'

First and foremost I would like to apologize for my long awaited return to blogging. It has been one heck of a reality the past few weeks. I do not want you guys to feel that I have forgotten about you. I have been taking the time out to watch some awesome movies to provide to you guys. As you can see in the title I got my hands on a great one. That goes by the name 'Decent', which is a first time production effort by Rosario Dawson.

If you all can remember those college years in which you witnessed horrific acts of violence, wild partying and such just to come out unscathed. Well many did not have that luxury, and those who were more touched by the social aspect than its educational wealth offering and second this film and put it up there with films that tell a story of truth.

I do not want to give this film away at all so allow me to try my best to deliver to you the premise. We have here a college student which is a young lady who is brilliant and about to take the next leap in life just to find herself in a situation that will not allow her out, both emotionally and physically. In which her only response to it is wild parties and drugs, and a hidden agenda for relief.

All to often we are offended in society, one way or another and are left to live with the tragic offense with no offering of understanding or support. So we must take into our own hands justice, however before that justice takes place something within our hearts shifts to a place that is more damaging than that act that has lead us to that road. This film provides a vivid picture into such a state of mind.

I must warn that it is worthy of awards beyond anything that Hollywood can offer. For a production effort that far exceeds expectations Rosario Dawson and her team did an awesome job. I feel that this film will be talked out for years to come. I think all you ladies who come across this will thank me for this film and what it has to offer, however I must warn you that this film is not for the faint of heart, but for those who respect great art.


This film is Directed by Talia Lugacy and is written by Brian Priest and Talia Lugacy.
