    Pursuit of Happiness

    Please do yourself a favor and go and see this movie. It is VERY powerful and moving. Call Will Smith and sellout, but he can sure act and should get serious Oscar consideration for this.

    Still have a lump in my throat.

    It looks good, thanks for the review.

    BTW, Will and his 20 plus person entourage are in DV this week. They moved all of the furniture out of a rented 8 bedroom house and replaced it with new shit from LA. He has a scientologist adviser in his entourage. He travels with two chefs, but hired a caterer to bake danishes and muffins because his chefs don't want to bake at altitude. Just thought that was interesting and maybe somewhat relevant.

    No shit, this is a good flic. Just saw it and got to admit it is a bit of a tear-jerker.

    IMO, Smith nailed the part. Definitely Oscar material.

    I like how positive the Movie was. Never does he blame anyone else, and in fact he illustrates how much people can reach out to you, if you have the right attitude. I can undeestand why Will SMith picked this project, and why this guy is such a winner.

    Two thumbs up.

    I am equally as happy for Will Smith as I am sorry for Jazzy Jeff.

    Bwaahahahaha

    He came into my ski shop with about a 20 person entourage last year, and rented two pairs of skis. I think he likes being the center of attention. He was freindly, and tipped like a drunk mobster, so I wasn't complaining.

    Do you understand why it was misspelled?
