Manipulative, phony...very strong emotions against. I know Phil thought it was as good as anything he's seen..guess it's a personal thing.
Frost/Nixon..IMO perhaps, was outstanding

Movies that elicit emotion (positive or negative) tend not to do very well at the box office, so I think they hold a lot of them back. but IMO they are much better overall than movies where everyone says "i kinda liked it"

Knowing I'll never see it, I googled "What is Seven Pounds surprise ending?"...Will not give it away, but interesting premise, I have to admit
