Movie Reviews of A Raisin in the Sun
Movie Review: Absolutely BRILLIANT re-make of a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who has seen both the original and this 2008 re-make who doesn't find this re-make to be BETTER than the original. The acting is SUPERB throughout. Sean Combs gives a surprisingly believeable performance, while Phylicia Rashad SHINES in a role she was born to play. I now see why she was nominated for so many awards for this role. If you think you will think about Claire Huxtable, think again! She is AMAZING. This is a wonderful bittersweet story about money, greed, pride, and character that leaves you thinking about what is really important in life. Please understand, this is not a movie about black people, FOR black people. This is a movie for anyone with a beating heart. It was riveting from start to finish. You will laugh, cry, and be touched...it may even change you. I rented this from Blockbuster, and now I'm buying it.Movie Review: Felicia Rashad, the best
Summary: 5 Stars
I awaited with great expectation for the ABC premier broadcast and all of my expectations where met. Felicia Rashad performace was powerful, moving and inspiring. Imagine what our communities would be today if we continue to have strong black women in our families who possess great wisdom, strength of character, fortitude and great discernment. Women who can allow a man to come into his own after failure. Women who are not self-serving, women who can instill virtues, values and honor our heritage. Women with class and dignity who demand their respect. What a role model. The entire cast and crew are to be applauded. I can't wait to by this DVD.
This production is one that should be packaged and taught in our schools system(s) and not just during Black History month.
Movie Review: Love Him When He Is At His Lowest!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Normally I'm a channel surfer when I'm watching TV. Its nothing for me to be watching two or three shows at the same time. But last night my TV was glued to ABC. I didn't want to miss one second of what was going on. Many were critical of Diddy before the movie even hit the air but he did a phenomenal job. There were times that I wanted to smack him for being so mean spirited and so stupidly money hungry, but in the end I wanted to do as Phylicia Rashad, said and love him when he was at his lowest. Sanaa Lathan and Audra McDonald performed wonderfully as well. I cant wait until the DVD comes out to add it to my collection. I already have the other 2 editions.Movie Review: Raisin Graduated To A New Class
Summary: 5 Stars
"Raisin" loaned itself to a brand new generation of viewers and listeners. Although the theme was the same for both, the earlier version with Sidney Poitier and the now version with Sean Combs, it is a powerful movie that transends age, race, and gender. It is a universal story that touches the heart and inspires the soul of any human being who opens its mind to love of family and dreams for a better life. It overcomes injustice, prejudice, racism, sexism, and triumphs on the will of the human spirit. As a writer, Lorraine Hansberry continues to haunt our conscienceness and make us better humans in spite of our frailties. Excellent rating.Movie Review: Sean Combs is a Great Actor
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this video on channel abc. I saw the original movie, broadway and several small stage plays with the original actors and substitute actors. I don't believe Sean Combs performed slightly better than Sidney did. He demostrated that he can act and should continue to act. He made my husband feel what he was going through and this is no small task. He demostrated what every black man went through during this era and made you believe the depression, the anger, helplessness and finally freedom.
This was great and the video was great.
