Dreamgirls (2006)
passionate and emotional
I could not agree with you more about this movie, I cried on several scenes, and held back tears on others. Jennifer Hudson was flawless, Beyonce was ALMOST as good, Eddie Murphy, well, Eddie was Eddie. When you put Eddie in a serious role he usually shines. Eddie Murphy is an extremely underrated actor. This role was tailor made for him. He was robbed of an academy award. I'm extremely upset by this! Jennifer Hudson voice is extremely powerful, Beyonce actually stepped up her game because of this, this is what I like about Beyonce, she's a competitor and a fighter. Although she did a pretty good job, she just doesn't match Jennifer's power. I respect the fact that Beyonce was aware of this and she didn't go beyond her realm, which made the song "Listen" that much greater because she maximized her singing strengths "without over singing". Jamie Foxx and Danny Glover were great in their roles as well. The casting for this movie was excellent.
Not of This Earth (1995)
Excellent flick! Roger Corman rules.
Excellent flick! Roger Corman rules. This movie would be one of those "Read between the lines". Michael York plays the perfect alien. He does such a good job, he sort of makes you think he's an alien in real life, for those who believe in that sorta thing. What's odd is I was captivated by this movie the minute it came on. I wasn't expecting much, which made it even better watching. Without spoiling it for folks, there are several scenes to pay attention to that I would say compare to real life, for those who believe in the world of alien phenomena. Michael York makes this whole movie for me, special effects may be a little cheesy, but the actual story line is pretty good.
