The Pursuit of Happyness

Watched "The Pursuit of Happyness", with Will Smith, from 2006, the other day. We all know the film and what it's about, I guess.

The story, as it's based on a true story, is pretty amazing. Have seen interviews with Chris Gardner before, and it sure does make you think that almost anything is possible.

The film was okay. Nothing ground breaking, but still okay. I was most impressed by Will Smiths son though. He played Chris Gardner's son and did it very well.

I'm always impressed by great child actors. Probably because I, myself, even though I'm a grown up (or supposed to be), could not act myself out of a paper bag.

But maybe that is just the problem. Me being a grown up I mean...

I've seen some movies this week. Some on dvd and one at the cinema.

The Good Shepherd - (director Robert De Niro) story about the beginning of CIA. Terribly depressing, not the best best movie ever, but ok

No Country for Old Men - (directors Coen Brothers) AMAZING FILM!!! See it if you haven't yet

Letters from Iwo Jima -(director Clint Eastwood) I don't like war movies. But it was ok. Saddened me though.

Funny, I've been thinking about that I want to watch both the two first movies on your list. Thanks for reminding me.
