1. I'll give you a hint

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia, California on my mind.
Straddled that Greyhound, rode him past Raleigh, on across Caroline...

3. My beautiful Daughter and I went to see Independence Day
on July 4 and we caught the last show at the Ridgewood NJ theater before they closed the balcony. It was great. She still talks about it when it comes on the TeeVee.

2. I vote for Pursuit of Happyness, and I agree. He deserved the Oscar
I haven't seen a bunch of his movies but I really like him as a human being. I am more and more impressed with his sanity and spirituality every time I see him. I also liked Seven Pounds but it wasn't one of his best.

7. 'Hollywood' doesn't seem to like big grossing movies or stars
they forget that the fans are the true measure of Hollywood, and sometimes, they let their purity override their brains.

14. What?
Of course they like big-grossing movies and stars. It's a business, which explains the invariably low-quality movies that gross a ton of money.

If Hollywood actually put out smart, original films on a regular basis, the whole industry would collapse.

4. I liked "I am Legend"
It's just the kind of weird, conceptual, "what if" movie that I enjoy.

5. I am Legend by a nudge over Enemy of the State
He's excellent in both, but it's the desolation he shows after (spoiler) dies in I am legend that pushes it to the top.

6. Not fond of his movies generally, but I love Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Ali was a decent movie though.

8. Independence Day.
It's the only one I've ever seen more than once. And I'd see it again. It's got very little to do with Wil Smith's being in it, though. I watch it to see President Lone Star.

19. See, I liked MIB... however after sitting through MIB II, the first thought that crossed my mind was
"I'm never going to get those couple of hours of my life back. Ever."

Even Rosario Dawson didn't manage to make that movie watchable. And I'd watch that woman reading the newspaper if they made a movie about it.
