Short Conversations: Will Smith Part 1

Sort of can't believe I had this conversation a few minutes ago with my friend Graham. Really, Graham, Will Smith has never made a bad movie in his life? Are you crazy? This snow is doing some strange stuff to you sir. I'm kind of with Jeffrey Wells on Smith:

"The rest of Smith's directors have all been journeymen -- nice guy professsionals (Barry Sonnenfeld, Peter Berg) but mainly fellows who can shoot a film in focus, get it in on time, etc, but none of them visionaries or even marginally outside the box. 25 years hence which films will Smith be remembered for? Ali and what else? The man only has a few years to knuckle down and work with the AA-quality directors, or history will not remember him with any great respect or kindliness."
