Rarely do I see three movies in one weekend but this was one of those exceptions and I have to say I loved them all. Now that's a feat for me to watch three movies and like all of them. Coincidentally, they were all based on a true story which makes them even more interesting. Here is Quinn's Review:
"Dreamgirls" - Loosely based on the lives and careers of the Supremes - it was awesome ! I loved the music and the acting was superb. Jennifer Hudson blew me away with her singing and Danny Glover, Jamie Foxx, Beyonce, and Eddie Murphy also did a phenomenal job. I would highly recommend seeing it - especially if you like music.
"The Pursuit of Happyness" - Based on a true story and you will leave the theatre with renewed hope for the human spirit. A homeless guy with a 5-year-old boy to raise alone, out of sheer will and determination, makes it as a stock broker on Wall Street and becomes an extremely successful and wealthy business man. The title role was played by Will Smith and the little 5-year-old boy is amazing. This is a feel-good movie and I highly recommend it.
"Coach Carter" - This has been out for some time and we saw it on a movie chanel on T.V. but once again, a true story of a coach in an inner-city school who risked his job to turn lives of students around at a school known for academic failures into
a place where kids were motivated to learn and succeed in life as well as in sports. Samuel L. Jackson played Coach Carter. Of course, it won't win any Oscars and the outcome was pretty predictible but any movie that makes me feel good and that makes me see all the good that is happening under very adverse circumstances is well worth spending a couple of hours of my time watching.
