      "Stay 'round here long 'nuff you gon getcho self one too.."
    So I just got back from the movie theater. I saw "Cadillac Records" with my mother and WOW. It was absolutely AMAZING! Everything and everyone in the film was fantastic. It was such a great movie to watch -- every actor was compelling and the music, the music! It was breathtaking. Not to mention, the story is one that everyone needs to witness be told.

    Jeffrey Wright played Muddy Waters and he hands down, lived that role. He was great. I can see why my father is such a huge blues fan.



    You get to see all the troubles and obstacles these people faced trying to not only make it as artists but African American artists in the 40's and 50's. Leonard Chess (played by Adrien Brody -- who was spectacular if I may add, as usual-- did some messed up things, but he got the job done and made those men & Etta, famous and the figures they are today.

    Speaking of Etta, Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce....


    .....SHE SLAYED! O-M-G you guys. When I say she improved, she moved the Earth and drained the oceans with how much she improved on her acting. She was phenomenal. I was so proud and so shocked/appalled/clutching the pearls at her performance. Etta has a mouth worse then the meanest hoodlum in Newark. Yuck! But it was totally believable; I was able, to separate the singer from the character. Maybe not entirely to Etta James, but I knew she wasn't Beyonce. There was NO way. Especially in the scenes where she almost overdoses on heroin. I didn't know Beyonce could do it or even attempt to -- but she did and I was blown away.

    Y'know in Dreamgirls her acting was superb with her facial expressions and she shined when she hadn't any lines at all(we all know how hard it was to watch her in most of the scenes where she was talking...and trying to act -- girl, bye!). However, in this film she matched that ability to tell a story with her eyes with her ability to act out reality.

    I've been reading reviews and critics all over are saying she stole the show and she definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for this role - whether she wins or not doesn't matter but she deserves the nomination. I couldn't agree anymore. Even the film as a whole, deserves to be up for a nomination as one of the best films of the year. And Jeffrey Wright or Adrien Brody better get a nomination in the male categories.

    GO SEE THIS MOVIE ASAP!
