will smif, WILL SMIFFFFF!!!!

I went and saw the new movie Seven Pounds on Monday, produced by and starring the Fresh Prince himself. All I can say is that it was awesome.

Jeff Furnell (I think that's his name), the movie guy on Triple J criticised it for laying the emotion on too thickly, but he's a massive tool and likes his movies with a high proportion of wank, so I say just ignore him and listen to me instead.

By about halfway through this movie you work out what's going on and have a good idea of what might happen, although there is no certainty. But when it plays out it has the most emotional, gripping ending you can imagine.

Without telling you what happens, this movie is about remorse, redemption, guilt, compassion, generosity, love, loss, heartbreak, nobility, anguish, grief and most importantly love (I know I already said that one).

It has a flawless screen play, Rosario Dawson is outstanding, Will Smiff is excellent, the direction is brilliant and every single actor is a strong and believable contributor. This picture deserves an Oscar for best screenplay, and potentially best female actor, best director, best picture and maybe even best male actor (I wouldn't say he was THAT good, but I've seen other winners give much worse performances).

There's not really any action, no guns, not nudity, no car chases, in fact on many levels you might say it's a pretty boring movie. But, it's gripping, emotional and most importantly, real.

I cried. Go see it, you'll probably cry too. If you don't cry maybe you should see a counsellor. You are potentially a sociopath.

btw Did anyone know that Woody Harrelson could act? Me either, I guess you learn something every day.

ps this review is very, very critical. Don't read it if you want to know the plot, it gives away everything. I still think I'm right
