What a treat. He really shocked me. His performance was amazing. I'm not a fan of musicals. But, I'll probably take my husband to see the movie, 'cause he loves that kind of music and he thinks the world of Jamie Foxx. I've met Loretta Divine several times and saw her again yesterday on the set of her new film, "This Christmas." She was rushed so we barely had a chance to say more than 'hello.' But she's a sweet person and I'm sure we could have talked longer if we'd had the chance.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to seeing "Notes On A Scandal." (I hope that's the correct title.) I love Judi Dench and I've probably seen nearly all of her movies.<BR/>- Dorez<BR/>Jahqoi.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741885.post-68539577979432486192007-01-15T23:43:00.000+00:002007-01-15T23:43:00.000+00:00BTW, I saw "Notes on a Scandal" today.

Jamie Fox...same...he's fine, but not for me. Beyonce, although the producers would have you believe is a lead actress always seems to be just in the periphery (sp?). It's not really until her major solo bit towards the end of the film does it feel she qualifies as a lead character. Jamie Fox's character is a snake and he plays it pretty well, so you can not like him and it's ok. <br /><br />As for the "Star is Born" moment with J-Hud--TRUE..it's worth it. As is the "Star is Re-Born" moment with Eddie Murphy! Love J-Hud, but the biggest suprise is Eddie...I'll go to the bank saying that! But it's his star to lose if he keeps making poor decisions in his other films!ScottE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02346813251871182513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741885.post-37554413169852780612007-01-08T21:11:00.000+00:002007-01-08T21:11:00.000+00:00Your new BFF, Noni, played the daughter in the Bro...Your new BFF, Noni, played the daughter in the Broadway CAROLINE OR CHANGE. She was so amazing in that show, that when she came on screen when I saw DREAMGIRLS I almost jumped out of my skin. Also, word on the street is she is... wait for it... 40 years old. She played a 16 year-old woman in CAROLINE. Amazing. I loved the movie as well - just wish they had filmed it and allowed an intermission. I found myself needing to have a moment after I'M TELLING YOU.The Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174151566718145651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741885.post-52210163019656868582007-01-07T22:32:00.000+00:002007-01-07T22:32:00.000+00:00I'm still kinda on the fence about whether I want ...I'm still kinda on the fence about whether I want to see Dreamgirls or not. I dunno, it's just not seeming like a "must see" to me cuz Beyonce and Jamie Foxx are both "ehhhh" in my book. BUT, I'm hearing so much great stuff about Jennifer Hudson and I downloaded the "And I Am Telling You..." song and loved it. So, I may see it just to see a real "star is born" moment.<br /><br />And as for Children of Men - I really liked it, even though it's so dark and difficult. It's smart and funny and ultimately hopeful. I would truly watch Clive Owen do anything, but I'm glad when he makes good choices so I don't actually have to watch him in crap! :-) My mom and I got in an argument today, though, about the role of animals in the film -- interesting to discuss. And I think there's still the possibility that it could get some Oscar noms - sometimes the Globes miss a good film or two, and many of the reviews I'm reading are calling this one of if not the best picture of the year. So I have my fingers crossed for Alfonso!Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024186205791001584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741885.post-19442668041311414542007-01-07T15:46:00.000+00:002007-01-07T15:46:00.000+00:00Jennifer Hudson rocks...end of story. No denying...Jennifer Hudson rocks...end of story. No denying it. But the reason I want to go back is to watch Eddie Murphy. His performance was amazing and the one performance I was most skeptical of going in the theatre. Bravo for taking this role and truly inhabiting it. I see Oscar nom for him as well. <br /><br />Beyonce, although great, just didn't bring anything but pretty to the role. She sounds great. She can move and she is pretty, but outside of that I feel she was just a pawn to Curtis' chessmaster.<br /><br /><br /><br />Clive Owen. Done and done. Good movie and a very intersting idea. What would happen if women suddenly became infertile the world over? Would society suddenly fall?ScottE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02346813251871182513noreply@blogger.com
