New Movie ~ The Gospel (Fall 2005)

[DSTinguished1]

Well I say go see it cause apparently there were some people in my group who loooooved it. I have my various reasons for why I ranked it so low. I think the content was very good. But some people feel that because it is a Christian movie than you cant rank it low. But I beg to differ.

[Rain Man]

Isn't this movie from the makers of Trois (Rob Hardy and William Packer)?

Interesting...

I SAW this movie...I thought it was aiight. 3 stars. Idris Elba, nice!

Not so impressed with the movie or Boris Kodjoe's acting...his character was unconvincing, IMO. Can he really sing?? And the movie had some loose ends.

It just seems like actors are trying to capitalize on the success of black "church" movies.

Totally agree. No he CANNOT sing. Those were voice overs, during the credits they listed the people who were doing the voices. I wish they used the same voice throughout... cause did you noticed his secular voice sounded NOTHING like his gospel voice??

And.....who was responsible Boris' wardrobe??????? He was tacky that whole movie!!

Yes Idris is some sexy chocolate right there....

Was it me or did they RUSH the end??

And his haircut! He looks better bald. Aaaand I never realized how hairy he was until this movie. I know men are supposed to be hairy but dang.

No it wasn't you. They rushed the end for the sake of time, I guess.

I thought they rushed the beginning and the end. Boris had some FUNNY acting scenes and needs to work on his acting, lol. Didn't notice his wardrobe. He is too pretty and reminded me of Shamar Moore...towards the end, I wasn't attracted to him anymore.

This is the first time I saw Idris Elba...I had to check out the cast list to find out his name because there is something super sexy about this man. His mannerisms and way he speaks, etc. He just seems very manly IMO. Add me to the fanlist

If someone could share a pic of him I would really appreciate it, lol. I searched for his pics in Google Images, but they are all so small.

Yes! There was one scene were he had this wrinkled arse pinstripe denim looking jacket on. I just wanted to put a steamer to it.

Woohoo! Thanks

*saves pics to computer*

Edit: I didn't know he was British...from the movie, I think he disguised his accent pretty well.

[DSTinguished1]

Thats a fyne chocolate man right there. He actually was waaaay better in the movie than Boris. And Boris was supposed to be the headliner.

[Neosoulchild]

Just like Morris with The Best Man.

I saw the movie and LOOOOVED it. Of course it didnt have the cursing, violence and sex which is prolly why some people didn't like it. Lets face it thats all we are used to watching, so when something comes along without all that, it loses the attention of audience members.

PS: The music was really nice too, will be buying the soundtrack
