Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Now I know what’s been missing in my life.
Will Smith hasn’t made a movie since 2008.
In 2008, he made Hancock, a great flick in case you’ve never seen it — definitely a good one to watch on cable or rent on NetFlix. He also made the awful Seven Pounds, which we’ll forget about, since every star is allowed the occasional dog.
On his IMDB page, take a look at his “in development” list: thirty films. I realize he won’t make all of these, maybe not even the majority, but thirty? Is he going to clone himself? Isn’t he worried about oversaturation?
In other news: did you know Ernest Borgnine is still turning out movies? He’s been in a lot of low profile productions, but look at 2010 for him: four films in post-production. Productive at age 93, how blessed is that? Hell, he even has Mickey Rooney beat (two films in post-production at age 90).

Will Smith has been busy pushing his son’s career (a new Karate Kid movie with Jackie Chan taking the part Pat Morita made famous). In Jaden Smith is actually a pretty good little actor…takes after the old man.
Jaden Smith was okay, but Jackie Chan was luminous, as always. He commanded every scene he was in.
