TELEVISION UPDATES

Great actor Will Smith ,I enjoys me to see him in the role of colossus . Independence Day will be for after :)
ReplyDeleteCheers .
People always flock to see his films
DeleteI hope Smith can pull off another hit to make up for the last flop.
ReplyDeletehe had a few flops recently, I'd blame it on his irritating nepotism
DeleteI don't think we need Independence Day sequels
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you, the same as we don't need Will's BAD BOYS III and he is shooting that too
DeleteReally excited about Sense8 . . . hopefully it lives up to expectations, given how long they've been talking about it.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, Bob. New year is bringing us a lot of such para psychological, apocalyptic and creepy shows
Deletei have crossed fingers for smith, i think that sometimes actors want to stretch their acting skills too much and then forget what made them famous...
ReplyDelete'tis true, Jeremy. Will thinks he can win an Oscar some day.... I wouldn't agree, but then again so many horrible actors have won it over the years....
Deletebingo... exactly.. smith is a great actor, stick with what you know.
Deleteand do not stick to Jada..... she's a nasty element in his life
DeleteWell I like the new storyline for Will, hope it fares better than one with his son ~ Thanks for the updates Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteyep, that one, with his son, was awful, but at least it didn't have his horrid brat of a daughter in it :)
DeleteTo me Will Smith needs a hit, his movies lately have been poor!
ReplyDeleteexactly, Fran
DeleteI'm avoiding Will Smith at all cost ;-) Sense8 looks interesting, though.
ReplyDeleteyep, I've never fancied him either.
DeleteWill is certainly out there trying to put some thing together. Hope he has success this year.
ReplyDeletehe really needs it.
DeleteI like Will Smith, a great actor in my opinion !
ReplyDeleteMaybe, my preferred movie of him is "I'm a Legend", a splendid remake of the mythic film with Charlton Heston !
Hope you read my recent interview with Shaun Smith, Sam Wise, the man who did make up and effects in I'M A LEGEND :)
DeleteInteresting concept. Bring it on, Mr. Smith. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it
DeleteSounds similar to the I, Robot premise..
ReplyDeletehaven't seen that one
DeleteSo, I like the concept of the movie, but I try to avoid Will Smith if possible. His ego is pretty inflated. He's almost in the same boat with Tom Cruise as far as my dislike goes.
ReplyDeleteyep, I always thought Will was a black version of Tom Cruise when it comes to egomania :)
DeleteAbout the unplugged oven ... Oy. That's not good. No cake for them, eh?
ReplyDeleteI never make cakes for them anyway :)
DeleteSelling Time does sound like a compelling movie.
ReplyDeletewe could all buy some, sell some :)
DeleteI like Will Smith and most of his movies and I'm definitely interested in Sense8 :)
ReplyDeleteHope SENSE8 will be a good one.
DeleteSense8 sounds intriguing. Rory is very cute, isn't he? He's the only reason I'll watch Braddock and Jackson. :)
ReplyDeletewe do love them ginger
DeleteIs it wrong that I am just completely over Will Smith, his wife and his offspring? Because I just completely am...
ReplyDeleteDown with the Smiths
DeleteWild wild West is the only movie of Will Smith I really liked. Don't know for this one??
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
yep, he doesn't have many nice movies, if you ask me
