...non-Ohio Greeks as well as non-alligned also are welcome, as Ray was not discriminatory.

Hey Tony...that's a nice fundraiser, and you will not be disappointed

Check this out:
I went to see Ray on friday and about 3/4 of the way through the movie the lights come on. The security guard and an usher proceed to announce that there has been a "small fire" and the fire department wants us to evacuate! You know I was so . I was thinking about rescending my vote to increase minimum wage- how do you mess up making popcorn or warming nachos?

The movie was so good. Now I have to go back and sit through the entire thing again just to see the ending.

Ray came in #2 at the box office this weekend:

ETA: I will check it out next Sunday after church.

I went to see it Friday afternoon (wanted to beat the rush) and really enjoyed it! The music is great, Jamie did a good job as well as Regina King and Kerry Washington. I'm surprised it only came in 2nd place but nevertheless a good movie.

I saw it last night. I think Jamie Foxx did such a good job!

I saw it last night, too. It was a good movie in that it kind of... made Ray seem like a real man, flaws and all, rather than just an untouchable icon. Jamie Foxx was amazing - sometimes I felt like I was watching a documentary instead of a movie.

One thing: the movie is L-O-N-G, so you might want to think twice about drinking that extra-large diet Coke while you watch it!

EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!

I just came back from seeing the movie. I absolutely loved it. Jamie Foxx did an outstanding job. I cried and laughed. It will definitely be added to my DVD collection when it comes out.

I co-sign with most of Sistermadly's post here. There were a lot of really touching scenes. RC, like many of his era, was about much more than his music.

Who was the woman who played his wife? She was a cutie...

Her name is Kerry Washington. She has appeared in small roles in a few major pictures over the last couple of years, and is going to be in the Fantastic Four (!) movie.

I went to see the movie Saturday night ($7 in NJ )

The movie was excellent. Definitely a future DVD collection item.

If I'm not mistaken she played in Save the Last Dance with Julie Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas(he was the know it all barber in Barber Shop). She Played Sean Patrick's sister.

I absolutely loved this movie. I was drawn to tears a couple of times. Jamie did an excellent job. I never thought he could be a serious actor but he proved me wrong.

I think Ray came in 2nd by default. Since it was Halloween weekend everyone wanted to see the Grudge because its a scary movie.

I hear the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes long. I need to take nap before I go...
