Tippy enjoyed "7 Pounds"




I am glad that I had the chance to check out this film. If you are an avid movie watcher, (you know I am) then put this flick on your list to go see. I won't write too much because I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

Will Smith stars as Ben Thomas, a suicidal IRS agent with a fateful secret. He will change the lives of seven strangers.

Also in the film are Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, and Michael Ealy. Will Smith handpicked Ealy for the role of the main character's young brother. Connor Cruise, the 13-year-old adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, was cast in his first role as a younger version of Ben Thomas.



Will did his "thang" in this movie. This could have been a silent film and I would have understood his pain just from looking at his face. So impressed!

Make sure you have your popcorn and candy ready (I had jellybeans) because with this flick, you really need to pay attention. If you are not careful, you will get lost. It may not be the merriest movie for the holiday season but it will have you thinking.

7 pounds will be released tomorrow at a theater near you!

"Intuition" much better than "Unpredictable"


In 1994 Jamie released his first CD entitled "Peep This". The CD was great and probably one of the most slept on. After making me wait for almost ten years, he puts out "Unpredictable". What a let down that was. (Well at least for me it was.) I wanted to hear Jamie sing. Really sing. What I got was Jamie imitating Tank. I hated it.

When I found out Jamie was back in the studio, I could care less. Yeah, he's an excellent actor and comedian but I was no longer interested in him singing if he was not going to showcase his voice. Reluctantly, I listened to "Intuition". He automatically got a gold star from me because I did not hear one Tank-influenced song!!

The first single "Just Like Me" reminds me of "Touch my Body" and that Nelly song he did with Kelly Rowland. Cute song, but I love the video. Taraji Henson was a good choice for the leading lady.

I like 9 out of 15 songs. These days that is a rarity. "Why" is a stand out song as well as "I Don't Know" it has a Marvin Gaye feel to it. Shika would really like that one.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like "Intuition much better than Unpredictable".

I don't understand.......


Is that Quincy Jones in the new Jimmy Choo ad? Someone help me. I'm not sure of the connection.

Great Book! I was captivated for 3 hours. Antoinette did such a wonderful job that I could not put it down. I recommend this book to women aged 18 and up.

You can order this book from Amazon.com. This would make a great gift for the young female who may be heading down the wrong path. She will enjoy the book so much she may not even realize that she is being ministered to.
