On Saturday, after Ily got home from school, we went to the Real Cariari Mall in Barreal to see a movie. Ily wanted to see a comedy, and that sounded fine to me. We sort of wanted to see Inkheart (Corazón de Tinta) since Ily likes Brendan Fraser (she can watch any of the Mummy series over and over again). I did not want to see the Pink Panther, however. Or He’s Just Not That Into You, either. Or the Adam Sandler movie. Unfortunately, Inkheart was dubbed in Spanish. My language skills aren’t good enough for me to watch a movie and understand the jokes. Fortunately, all the other comedies (the ones I didn’t want to see) were dubbed too, so it left only one choice for us, Seven Pounds (Siete Almas), something we’d heard nothing about. It was not a comedy, just the opposite. Afterwards, in the taxi home, Ily jokingly complained that she’d wanted to laugh, but ended up crying. It was a good movie.

Was it good?
I’ve never been the kind of person who can just walk into a theater and see some movie I’ve never heard of. I have to know the background of it, if there was a book it was made from that I need to read first, etc.
I always liked to read the book after, since it is mostly always better, except in the case of 12 Monkeys, which was exactly the same. I read it only because it was novelized by Elizabeth Hand, who wrote some awesome books.
I can usually figure out if a movie will be good by looking at the poster and seeing who is in it. We figured it would be good because of Will Smith. But we really didn’t have any choice. It was Seven Pounds or the bus to another mall.
