I just saw Charlie Wilson's and I have to say I was disappointed. It didnt seem like Aaron Sorkin wrote it.

Yeah, I've heard bad things. In other news, I decided to re-watch the entire West Wing series in order, and am almost out of Sorkin episodes.

Anyone seen "I Am Legend" with Will Smith?

I went in not expecting much but was damn surprised...very inventive movie. Definitely one of my favs for the year. 4.5/5

Maybe my problem was that I went in expecting too much, but I was actually quite disappointed. It was eye candy for sure, but it really failed to live up to the substance of the original story or even the previous film adaptations.

You read too many books. Books are always better than movies.

Smith's performance surprised me in this one. It turns out he can actually act, lol

You've obviously not seen Pursuit of Happyness - he was really quite good in that one too imo.

Thats always depressing for me, too. You just gotta get through it.

Yeah, I might have to skip seasons 5-7 and just start all over again on Episode 1, Season 1. It's a new year after all.

i was actually quite nonchalant about him in Pursuit of Happiness. I see him more of an action star, rather than in drama / love movies. It's still a lot better position than what many thought he would be 10+ years ago when Fresh Prince was wrapping up, and people figured he wouldn't make too much of a mark in the movie industry after his success on tv. He has surprisingly brought himself to the next level away from the comedy genre into something different.

Will Smith is a really good actor. Like, he was in the one movie and I totally believed he was being serious. He really, really had me fooled. What a great performance. I was totally tricked into believing he was serious, so that makes him really, really super good at acting.

Anyone else's hands getting tired?
