Dream Girls

Dream Girls

The movie didn't leave me singing but it was good.

It was darker than I thought and not the simple script I expected.

It was a kick to see the 60's syles a afros.

I expected a different star the Diana Ross look alike did mimic her style and moves.

Interesting to see the first black act break into Miami and Las Vegas.

The tension in the supper club when Eddie Murphy pointed to a white woman was amazing she cringed along with the lily white audience and left insulted with her husband.

I found the warm up jokes offensive to Jews and blacks and everyone laughed in the club....those days.

I remember them. Going to a segregated school through 3rd grade in Detroit, the burning in DC. Seperate parts of the city, the hostility....

Another group segregated and debased. It must make those that can abuse their power feel superior.

Aren't people just people? A thought provoking, not simple and light movie.

Reviiewing movies...hum, I have no desire to see Night at the museum.

However, Apocalypto by Mel Gibson about the Mayans, The Good Shepard, a CIA thriller, Blood Diamonds, Pursuit of Happiness, and

Volver, a story in Spanish , about girls from the provinces living in Madrid (with English subtitles) are on my list.

I've got to use up those free theater passes before the year's end.
