Dreamgirls - The Movie

I am puzzled how come a theatre in Jamaica can show a movie before it premiers in the USA. Anyway, Dreamgirls reach Jamaica. I am filling up on movies here because the one cinemawr on my side of town in Grenada is a bit "far" to get to and transportation when movie done is a bit iffy. I believe one is going to re-open in a plaza within walking distance from me, but until then, each time I come to The Rock, Palace is going to get some money outta me.

Anyway, back to the movie...

Is one of them feel good, singing, fill-up-your-heart type of movie. That girl Jennifer Hudson - American Idol cast off from a few seasons ago - can surely sing.

That song "And I am telling you, I'm not going", she sung it in the movie and when she was done, the audience clapped. When the movie was done, the audience clapped. Good casting. All the actors seemed perfect for their roles. Definitelly worth a watch. And there is Oscar buzz around it after it was nominated for some Golden Globe awards. So we shall see. They're saying Jennifer Hudson, who by the way is in her first movie role, could walk away with one. Wouldn't that be a dream!

Astonished at B's nomination. She did make an effort, what wid those 20 lbs she lost for de film. Ah liked her new look too -- she was really glamorous in de role, but wasn't quite convincin'. She noh show mi not a spark wid Jamie, & c'mon it was Jamie. Jennifer outsang, out-acted, upstaged her, even if B did say she was "holding back" -- like she could ever outsing Jennifer! Give it up, gracefully, B, yu tek de prettiness prize, but U were outdone in that film!

Jennifer blew me away with her singing! I knew she could sing from AI but gosh, I want to see the movie again just for her singing that song. She did Jennifer Holliday justice.
