I know. It can be hard to believe, but as there are fewer and fewer football games, there is less and less pertinent news. Make no mistake, there is still some awesome football to be played. Philadelphia versus Arizona is a game between two teams that NOBODY expected to be here, and one of them will be going to the Super Bowl. And the Baltimore versus Pittsburgh game... well, it's always a hard-hitting contest, but to determine who goes to the Super Bowl? Expect a war.

And, there is still some pertinent news. St. Louis fired their entire coaching staff and Tampa Bay got rid of "Chucky" and their general manager. There's a lot of Premier coaching positions open right now, and whoever fills them could affect your fantasy football next season.

But, if you're not in a playoff fantasy football league, or a fan of one of the four remaining teams (which thank the gods I am) then you are probably not paying very close attention to football. So, for those of you looking for other things to occupy your time, there's a quick movie review coming up.

First, a very fast once over of my predictions from last week. McNabb threw for over 200 yd., one touchdown and ran for another touchdown, so that's a good call. However, Williams was exactly like Michael Turner and could not get the job done against Arizona and while Hines led Pittsburgh in receiving, he did not get to 100 yd. or score a touchdown, so both of those are bad calls. That gives me a 3-2-1 postseason record.

I also predicted the upsets with Baltimore and Philadelphia, but Arizona surprised. This week, I once again deferon the Pittsburgh game, however I do predict at least one Pennsylvania team in the Super Bowl as I think Philadelphia will defeat Arizona.

As far as players, you almost have to go completely with the Philadelphia/Arizona game. Baltimore in Pittsburgh is going to be a bloodbath. They are going to try and kill one another. If you don't really have any major football rivalries, and want to get an idea of what they can be like, watch the Pittsburgh/Baltimore game.

My players this week would be McNabb, Hightower and Fitzgerald.

Now, for a brief movie review. You'll probably see more of these during the off-season as I usually try to see at least one movie a week in the theaters during the spring and summer.

Seven pounds

Wow. Remember when Will Smith was the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? I always had a somewhat soft spot in my heart for that show. It was goofy, had its funny moments and was some innocent fun. Much like his rap music, it is something you could smile at while partaking in it.

So, I have always kind of liked Will Smith. Every actor makes some bad decisions here and there (wild wild West?) But even his bad decisions somehow wind up being fun. He has done comedy, action, and even his fair share of drama such as Ali. I figured Will Smith had settled into that big drawing kind of star who can put his name on an action film, make lots of money, and occasionally appear in a comedy or drama and surprise some people.

Well, as far as I am concerned, his performance in seven pounds marks another stage in his evolution as an actor. I'm not sure I can remember the last time in a movie that anybody was able to make me cry without saying a word. His ability to express an motion through the look in his eyes, the appearance of his face was all something I had not expected and I have to say it kind of blew me away. I haven't heard very much Academy award talk about this performance, but if Will Smith is not at least nominated then the category is a joke this year.

On top of that, Rosario Dawson is extremely impressive in the supporting role. I've never been much of a fan, I've always felt she seems to be reading her lines rather than actually feeling them, but that was not the case in this movie.

The movie itself is about a fairly controversial subject, which I won't go into so as not to ruin the experience for anybody else. But overall, I think this is definitely one that is worth the big-screen and if you can find it in a theater somewhere at this point, go see it.

That's about it for this week. Once again, let's hope that I am still a happy person in approximately 32 hours from now
