Shame On Oprah

Some ofrepparttar best moments inrepparttar 109794 book stem fromrepparttar 109795 tension betweenrepparttar 109796 different hues of black people and when you take that out you’re left with a sweet but unoriginal love story, something Hurston’s groundbreaking work is not.

I must say that I expect more from Ms. Winfrey. This isrepparttar 109797 same woman who bought us Beloved, a very had tale aboutrepparttar 109798 horrors of slavery and how it affectsrepparttar 109799 psyche of those who were enslaved. Instead of bringing to screenrepparttar 109800 richness and diverseness of Their Eyes Were Watching God, we get a watered down, socially acceptable version. I wanted more and I expected more and I’m very disappointed that I didn’t get it.

Diary of a Mad Black Woman Doesn’t Disappoint, Unfortunately That’s the Problem.

Continued from page 1

Outside of Madea there’s not that much else to say about this movie. Tyler’s appearance as Joe, Madea’s cantankerous, dirty old man, brother isrepparttar only other bright spot inrepparttar 109793 film, as we watch him fight with Madea and hit on anything that moves. Kimberly Elise, albeit a very talented actress pouts, yells, screams and otherwise overacts her way throughrepparttar 109794 role ofrepparttar 109795 jilted Helen. Andrepparttar 109796 absolutely handsome Shemar Moore from The Young and The Restless is convincing, although uninteresting as Orlando, Helen’s new and sappy love interest. Orlando’s dialogue couldn’t get anymore cheesy or saccharine, “I’ll love you through your pain” or “I’ll be your knight in shining armor.” Although he delivers these lines as if he sincerely believes what he saying it stills sounds as if it is straight out of a bad romance novel.

I will say that if you like Perry’s stage work, then you will love this movie. He stays true to what works for him on stage, so you Perry fans won’t be disappointed. However, if you’re unfamiliar with Perry and his work and you were thinking about seeing this film, don’t. You’ll be sorely disappointed and will demand your money back.
