I got to see a sneak preview of the new Will Smith movie "Seven Pounds" tonight. Now I can't post my full review until the 19th, but I will say I did enjoy the film. Greatly even. Despite it's flaws (and there were some apparent ones) it was a really emotional movie. So is it Oscar worthy? Not really, but I can see it getting two nominations. The first would be Best Actor for Will Smith because...well, because he's Will Smith, and voters love him (as do the Neilson rating). However I think the more likely nomination will actually come for the under-hyped Rosario Dawson, who takes a sympathic character and makes her as likable as she can. She helps bring the emotional core of this movie to full light, and is arguebly more sympathetic then Smith's character is. Plus she's in it for about 90% of the movie, so a Best Actress nomination is more likely then a supporting. It's a long shot, but I would be very happy if Dawson snuck into the nominees at this point.

So it seems that Rosario Dawson is the more outstanding one in the movie. But how is Will Smith's performance? Is it good?
It's decent, but not great. Not that that matters much: He tends to get nominated for ratings.
