Well, we have
some mixed reviews on Dreamgirls...
Kenney loved it. I thought it was okay. Mom didn't
really care...it was ho-hum for her.
The singing and
performances were fabulous. Jennifer Hudson did an absolutely
amazing job in her role.
Supporting
actress? We don't think so. The reason everyone is
saying that Jennifer "upstaged" Beyonce in Dreamgirls
is because she seemed, at least to us, that her role was a bigger role
and it was a very dramatic one at that.
Beyonce did an awesome job as well, however, her
role was not quite as big or dramatic. I think that's why it
seems Jennifer upstaged her.
Kenney even watched the
special features and replayed all of the song performances (some even
multiple
I quite liked Dreamgirls...
I was so impressed with Jennifer Hudson. Also, I thought
Beyonce did a good job in
her role. Now,
it was not as dramatic as Jennifer's, but it is much more dramatic than
her role in the The
Pink Panther.., which, by the way, was one of the best movies
ever, if you love comedy.
Mom thought
that Dreamgirls..
was not realistic enough in that if they were basing the movie on the
Supremes and Diana Ross, then, she would have appreciated it more if it
was more historically based.
It was just
too loosely based. Now, she well remembers this time period,
and she would have been crazy over the movie if this was
corrected. She felt it was a big
disappointment.
Jamie Foxx and Eddie
Murphy: Jobs well done.
Overall, Dreamgirls..
is a good movie. It receives an Edwards 4 Star
Rating.
Happy Movie
Watching...

Okay...We have been
waiting for The
Queen.. to come out for over 1 yr, and were extremely excited
to see it...We have loved Helen Mirren in Elizabeth
I..; she was downright amazing in
it.
Well, The
Queen.. was kind of blah...I hate to say that because we love
most movies, it seems...
The
Queen.. is based purely around Princess Diana's death by
paparazzi, and how the Royal Family dealt with the media. The
relationship between the newly elected Prime Minister in England and
the Queen is portrayed as well.
The
Queen.. did not live up to the hype or our
expectations. It was like we were reading a journal or
something
For an actress of such high caliber, the
character of the Queen was hardly a challenge for Helen
Mirren.
We ended the movie simply wanting
more. Elizabeth II did not come across as the most
charismatic queen. She had her moments of showing compassion,
but The
Queen.. was quite a negative depiction of the Royal Family,
excluding the young Princes.
Now, the scenery was
gorgeous. I can't remember a film where we have actually seen
modern day English countryside.
Refreshing!
I suppose Kenney found it somewhat of a
bore, as he fell asleep halfway through. (He never does
that!) Needless to say, he is not going to go back to watch
the rest himself...
It only got 3
stars...We are neutral on this
one.
Have a great Friday
tomorrow!!!

Now, let me give you some background...We (Kenney, my mother, and I) watch A LOT of movies...We love it...It is family time and we cherish it. Usually, on Thursdays, we watch movies...just can't wait 'til Friday...LOL
Of course, with Jet Li in it, it is a martial arts movie...now, before all of you who don't like martial arts run away, my mother doesn't really like these types of movies either, unless they are Really well done...
The martial arts were done realistically and perfectly. Jet Li is so crisp and true to form; he is an absolute pleasure to watch. He moves like he is dancing. It is so graceful.
An Aside: Now, for those of you who don't know...I used to do Jiu Jitsu, and achieved a level of a junior black belt by the time I was 12...I couldn't get my real black belt until I was 16 yrs of age, because your hands are considered lethal weapons then. I was in a number of other sports, including equestrian horseback riding, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, softball, basketball, track & field...basically, you name it...LOL...So, I got bored with it and quit...I concentrated on rhythmic gymnastics and softball. At the age of 13, I went to Gymnastics School at Seneca College in Toronto to train with the Canadian Rhythmic Gymnastics Team. At the age of 18 I was invited by Softball Australia to come play Softball in Western Australia, as well as on a "national" team...At 19, I went to Texas A&M University on scholarship as a pitcher on the Softball team...etc...Sorry, this is not supposed to be my life-story...LOL
So, I can greatly appreciate the martial arts and how much discipline and practice it takes to be so extremely polished like Jet Li in all of his films, including this one, Jet Li's Fearless (Unrated Widescreen Edition)...
There was no non-sensical fighting; there was a reason for the violence. It was not a typical cheezy "karate" movie.
There was a beautiful story intertwined throughout the "fighting" scenes...So, for those of you who aren't crazy about martial arts like we are, you will very much enjoy it as well. Jet Li's little girl in the movie was just a darling, as well as a new woman friend he meets later in the movie.
Jet Li does a wonderful job of choosing movies that have a great story. Good Job Jet Li!
In essence, Jet Li's Fearless (Unrated Widescreen Edition).. is a documentary/true story of the most famous fighter in all of Japan during the early 20th Century named Huo Yuanija. This movie chronicles his life and early personal struggles and tragedy, as well as his spiritual growth and self-discovery.
What my mom appreciated most was the straightforward storyline, and the fact that there was no unnecessary sexual content or swearing.
Really, the acting was superb on all accounts. It was sensitive and beautiful. Truly inspirational!
What a
tragedy...Let's stand in agreement right now for everyone touched by
this tragedy to have healing and feel
comfort.
Father, right now we acknowledge You &
we acknowledge Your presence & Your sovereignty.
Father, we lift up Virginia Tech & the
people affected by the evil that has taken place on the campus.
We pray that Your Spirit be with them.
We pray that Your loving arms be wrapped
around them & comfort them in this tragic time.
We pray for families, neighbors, &
friends. We pray for staff, professors, &
administrators. God, we pray for people. We pray for
humanity. We pray that this event will not cause people
to turn from You but it will cause a nation to run to You like they
have never run before. We pray for increased faith.
We pray for spiritual growth.
We pray for Christian fellowship &
salvation of souls. We pray that your hand will move mightily over
Blacksburg, VA & over this nation. Touch souls right
now & comfort broken hearts. Forgive us for our
sins Father. In Your Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
