I tried to watch "Ray" yesterday

[MissHoneychurch]

but I kept getting interrupted by phone calls and chatting invations ... and I couldn't finish it because it got late and I needed to go to bad.

But so far I really liked what I've seen. Jamie Foxx really deserved that Oscar.

1. Aw you poor thing.

You have too many friends? I really pity you.

:sarcasm:

[MissHoneychurch]

3. no it actually was only one friend calling me

over and over because she got insecure again regarding a man. Reading too much into something.

[Mutley]

8. Wow. That's pretty hostile for no reason at all.

Chill man.. that wasn't even the point of her post.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. thanks

:hug:

[Mutley]

12. Your welcome... I can't stand bullies!

:hug:

[progmom]

17. what?

try to work on projecting your issues a little less on strangers, ok?

[MissHoneychurch]

21. thanks too

most of the time the offense seems to bounce off me.

[auntAgonist]

23. With your compassion

and attitude you are not going to last very long here.

[Hatalles]

2. It's a good film.

I saw most of Million Dollar Baby after the awards shows and all the Oscar hype... maybe that's why I didn't think it was as great as everyone seemed to make it out. I think Hotal Rwanda deserved the Oscar for Best Pic.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. I haven't seen these two

But Hotel Rwanda is definteley on my list. Not so sure about Million Dollar Baby

[Tyrone Slothrop]

24. You might change your mind after seeing Hotel Rwanda

Don Cheadle was truly robbed.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've cried from watching a movie.

After one scene with Don Cheadle and a necktie, I lost it (not going to say more to spoil it). I started bawling, had to pause the movie, etc.

After that scene, the floodgates were open. I ended up sobbing a couple more times during that movie.

When one man with a simple prop and no dialogue can trigger that sort of reaction in me, it's simply due to a truly amazing work of acting.

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Hotel Rwanda isn't out on DVD yet

here in Germany. I will order it as soon as it comes on the market.

After all what I read hear, it is really tearing one up. I am sure I will let you know how I felt once I watched it.

5. Don't worry, MissHoneyChurch. After you watch it all the FIRST time,

you will find yourself aching to watch it again. Jamie Foxx IS Ray Charles. It's SCARY good!

[MissHoneychurch]

6. I am sure I will watch more than once again

I told my mom yesterday that I bought it and will take it with me when I am going to her place this weekend. We will watch it together I am sure.
It is really impressive to see Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

7. I thought it was more like

Ray does Dallas

[Mutley]

9. I like that Jaime Foxx is breaking out of the comedy scene...

He seems to be doing quite well, too.

[MissHoneychurch]

10. I've never really seen anything of his comedy stuff

(me being in Germany) but I liked his role in Collateral also. And I think he is sexy as hell :) Sure could tempt me :evilgrin:

[Mutley]

13. I thinks he's sexy too

:evilgrin:

He started in the tv show In Living Color which was a comedy sketch show sort of thing. Then he was in a bunch of lame comedies that were more goofy than funny... and now lately I think he is making much better movies... good for him!

[MissHoneychurch]

14. it was good he started acting is serious roles

I hope there is more to come and drool on :evilgrin:

[Mutley]

15. Heehee! Me too!

There should be, especially with the success of Ray

[MissHoneychurch]

16. something to drool ....

[Mutley]

19. nice!

[Shell Beau]

18. I enjoyed it. It was long, but he did great in that film.

[MissHoneychurch]

20. it sure is long

that is the reason why I stopped watching last night. It was already 11.30pm and I had still at least half an hour to go. I will finish watching it tonight.

[Merrick]

25. You think Ray was long?

I started watching "Once Upon a Time in America" (Jewish gangster movie with Dinero, James Woods from the 80s). that sucker's 230 minutes. There's an intermission after two and a half hours.

[Arugula Latte]

22. Great flick.

That scene with the little brother just about killed me, though.

[MissHoneychurch]

26. just finished it

I was crying in the end. When he went threw the withdrawal and saw his mom and little brother in his dreams.

Man, that movie really impressed me.
