This week, the most obvious answer is sleep 🙂 Chickpea is on her third week of sleeping through the nights. If you’d told me a month a go I’d be able to go to bed at night and not need to get out of it twenty minutes later I would have laughed at you…and then burst into tears.
But this week’s What I’m Lovin’ is not about sleep. It’s about Will Smith.
What do I love about Will Smith? Is it his sticky-out ears? Is it his goofiness? Is it the corded muscles on a tall, lean frame? Well, yes, it’s all of those things, but specifically (this week, at least) it’s his performance in Hancock.
Now, I know the film was critically mauled. I know the word of mouth was bad, but I loved it! Maybe it’s cause my husband and I rarely get to go to the flicks any more – the cost of tickets, popcorn and babysitting means we have to take out a second mortgage – but I don’t think that’s just it. I’ve been a huge Will Smith fan for many, many, many, many, many years and I thought Hancock was lots of fun. In an era of superhero movies, Smith dared to create a hero so flawed it was almost impossible to like him. And yet I did. I sympathised with him. I felt for him. Yes, the movie kinda got a bit silly by the end, but hey, when Big Willie grins, I grin back. Doesn’t matter how silly the movie is (*ahem* I’m looking at Wild, Wild West here *grin*)
I’m hopeless at movie reviews, which is quite sad considering I wanted to be a movie critic when I was a teenager, so I’ll wrap this up here before it just becomes a big drool fest over Will Smith, but I’d like to recommend Hancock. It’s fun, it’s action-packed and it’s eye-candy, Will Smith style…which in my opinion, is very yummy eye-candy indeed 🙂
I’m with you on this. It was kind of cheesy at the end but he did step out of the box in such a wonderful way. And, well yeah, you go just to see some eye candy.

Heya, RC *grin* Did you know the original premise for the film was about a superhero who couldn’t have sex because his ejaculate would kill his sexual partner? Now I write some dark, disturbing stuff, but nothing THAT dark! Wow!
No way! That is dark. Not sure how they would have got that through the sensorship people, that might be why they changed it.
It’s great to see back around the net, I missed your blogging.

Thanks, Rhian. I missed being here. It’s wonderful to have life to return to some semblance of normality. Looking forward to playing more 🙂
