Watching the yoyo accelerate downward and come up again, Roger became bewitched by the spinning. He stood mesmerized by the spectacle that took place right in the middle of the mall. The tricks of the trade were performed with great ease by a troupe of yoyo prodigies. They spun the yoyos at breakneck speeds that seemed to defy gravity. As Roger continued to watch, he had an urge to pick up a yoyo and try his hand at making his own amazing tricks.

Will Smith’s latest film, Seven Pounds, is about as far from a “feel-good flick” or an “action-packed thriller,” as you can get. In fact, the movie is probably going to be the “Debbie Downer” of the holiday season. But perhaps that’s why it’s just what people need to see during a time of the year where commercialism and consumerism reign?
Smith’s December 2007 film, I Am Legend, was a science fiction thriller about the last man on earth. It grossed more than 77 million dollars during its opening weekend. One need only mention movies like Independence Day, Ali, and Hancock to understand his monumental impact on the film industry.
Although the Motion Picture Association of America rated Pounds PG-13, most viewers under the age of 15 probably won’t be able to handle or grasp the gravity of the film’s message. Family filmgoers need not worry, though. The violence is limited to accident scenes. This mysterious drama ends in the ultimate sacrifice. This concept of giving all for love and the sake of others is certainly something that could be a great discussion piece during holiday celebrations.
