It's all your's Jamie!

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2005)

After having some major doubts about Jamie Foxx winning the Oscar for best actor in "Ray", I had a feeling that I should view it before I would make any judgments.
Jamie Foxx did a remarkable job in "Ray" and I'm talking incredible. He wasn't just playing Ray Charles, he became Ray Charles. For a while I thought I was looking at him(the actual Ray). Jamie had also worked so hard to become Ray that you respect him on so many levels as an actor. I really enjoyed his performance, it's one of the best I've seen in a while.
The movie itself as "Ray" was a good movie all around. Very depressing and not the feel good movie of the year obviously. Although I was feeling Jamie Foxx, the movie in some ways did not do him or Ray Charles justice. To be honest, I am very familular with Ray Charle's work and his life story. I was never really a big fan, but I had a lot of respect for him as a person and musician. I felt the movie could've been a little bit more.
I would very much recommend "Ray" for any movie lover. It's a good movie with an awesome performance from Jamie Foxx.
8/10
