I saw "Ray" at the movies last night...I thought the singer's life
made a great story and that Jamie Foxx did a fantastic job of portraying the late singer.

The movie kind of slowed down a lot in 1962, but Ray Charles had to resolve several serious issues.

2. I saw it too,
two weeks ago. I thought it was great also. Jamie Foxx did a superb job as Ray, but the actor I thought really outstanding was the little-known young woman who played his mother.

3. Yes, she was good, very believeable. It's hard to show...
emotional conflict and determination in facial expressions, but she's an expert at it.

4. My sister saw it last night and said it was amazing
She thought Foxx was also amazing.

She said it was a tad long but one of the best movies she's seen in a while.

5. I love Ray Charles...
I cannot wait to see the movie... I recommend the movie soundtrack, a wonderful collection of Ray's hits.
