RE: Will Smith portraying Mohammad Ali in Ali:
Mr. Ali is on life support and will die soon. I admire Mr. Ali for battling his Parkingson’s Disease in public with grace and courage. I remember seeing him in interviews when he was healthy and young and well spoken.
I am sad for his family.
But:
I am happy for him. He will soon be in peace and truly is The Greatest boxer of all time.
Sadly he passed away since you left this comment. RIP Mr. Ali….you are 100% he was The Greatest. His graceful fight against Parkinson’s might have been his greatest….especially as you said…he handled it with grace and courage.
Seems his career has struggled recently. I thought Focus was alright. But Suicide Squad will bring him back to dominance.
I think you might be right…..but by the time Suicide comes out….he will be pushing 50…..not sure how long he can remain dominant….but we will see.
This made me laugh –

Thanks for the links…Steve Lensman and SmartandFun
I really enjoyed “After Earth” and I don’t think Will Smith’s son did a bad job. It was a good story, and a good comeback for M. Night Shylaman (or whatever his name is). That’s just my opinion. I don’t think this movie deserves to be on the bad Will Smith list.
Hey Lybrah…I am glad you liked After Earth….when a star like Smith has made so many good movies….even an average movie is going to be down the list of my rankings…thanks for the comment and the visit
I am actually looking forward to seeing Smith and his son Jaden in AfterEarth this summer. That looks interesting, based on previews. I do like the way you’ve broken down all the statistics and put into a very easy to follow format. Thanks for this page. Voted up.
Hey Bernie…I hope you like After Earth…it was better than I thought it would be….and thanks for such a nice compliment about my movie pages…it is greatly appreciated.
