I finally buckled and went to see Cadillac Records. I made up my mind not to see it after I heard Beyonce was in it. I know that seems a bit haterish, but I believe that she is THE WORST ACTRESS EVER!!! I would be a real hater and list all her other flop performances but it’s not necessary.
Somewhere between me not wanting to go and me sitting in the Theater, I got lost and actually enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the characters even more. So much that I came home and Goodled each and everyone; such complex and amazing black musician. A round of applause is in order for the actors that tackled this roles, I mean…they ate. They all deserve Oscar noms. Stand out performances definitely are…Columbus Short, Mos Def, and Jeffery Wright. I will give an honorable mention to Beyonce because she did do a much better job than past efforts, but how hard could it be to be a sassy sangin’ heroine addict. I’m just say that was one of those “insert black actress here” role, but she worked what she had. She still didn’t out shine her male counterparts. I only wish they kept the original songs with out trying to remake them. There is a simplicity to those original songs that sometimes gets lost when people remake them; maybe I’m just a fan of good ol’ soul music.
At work and hating it,
KD
