Ray

Ray (2004) - Review
It's really all been said, hasn't it? I don't think anybody didn't like this movie. I don't know anyone who doesn't like Ray Charles' music, and this film is full of it. Unless you've been under a rock, you already have heard that Jamie Foxx nailed his portrayal of the legend. I think so too. Roger Ebert says it in the review I link to above: "Foxx so accurately reflects my own images and memories of Charles that I abandoned thoughts of how much 'like' Charles he was and just accepted him as Charles, and got on with the story." That was my reaction too. I had to remind myself that that wasn't Ray Charles on the screen.

Now I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing Walk the Line.
