I went to see this movie last night, and came away with 3 things:

1. A renewed respect for Will Smith as an actor (I thought he did a marvelous job of Ali as well).

2. Amazement at his young son who had to be in almost every frame of the movie.

3. Last but not least, an appreciation of how blessed I am, and a renewed spirit to do SOMETHING to help the homeless.



As a side.....I could not help but wish that we as Black women could do a better job of being supportive and holding tight to those vows "for better or worse." WOnder how sister girl feels now? Just wondering.



I give this movie 5 stars easily .


I've been looking for love is all the wrong websites.

Misti women are not what they used to be. I mean think about all of the women here that leave their kids in the car in the middle of summer to go into the mall.

I know I am only looking at one side of it. But she kicked that man when he was down in every way possible, then handed him his balls on a platter.



I would give anything to know where she is now and what she thinks. And I'd bet my last dime that he has helped her out some since he got rich.

I don't think he did. I think he left it how it was unless it benefited his son in some type of way.

Top Film: Indeed very inspirational.A lbeit exaggerated in typical Hollywood style

Here is a link about the man himself.

More useful postive tales like this abound within the black community of black male role models. Problem is most do not make any noise about it.
In this context i am refering to black men who have gone from rags to riches purely through slugging it out the hard way. (New Money)

Man I was serious when I said this. We have sooo many women that kill their kids like this every year it is ridiculous. The kids literally die of heat stroke after being left in a car with no
