It's Rayning Oscar for Foxx

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2004)

Let's see here! There is buzz that Jamie Foxx will receive numerous acting accolades for his performance as Ray Charles in the bio film "Ray". I guess he is going to have to "unchain" himself and be present to receive his well-deserved statuettes. His turn as Ray was wondrous. If you have not observed Foxx's multi-talented efforts, you must "Meet This Foxxer". Director Taylor Hackford's film was passionate, jolting, and hypnotic. It will not blind you on how a man can overcome physical challenges, mental obsessions, and diversified pressures; yet still succeed at his craft. If you see "Ray" you will see what I mean. Kerry Washington "kerries" the film quite nicely as Charles' wife, Bea. You will not "bea" surprised if she receives some Supporting Actress nods during award season. Regina King continues to prove why she is the queen of the underrated African-American actresses with her stellar work as Charles' temperamental mistress, Margie. However, let's face the "Foxx", I mean facts! It is Jamie and "Jamie's Crying" that will make you "Jump" out of your seats when you witness "Ray". So "Hit The Road Jack" and see the light of "Ray". I am sure after you endure it you will have "Georgia" I mean "Ray" on your mind. **** Good
