    For Colored Girls

    I loved it and I am gonna see it again. Thank God, I didn't rely on those pseudo-well-thought-intellectual reviews of some newspapers who spent most time talking about Madea and pigeonholing Tyler Perry than paying attention to what this movie was about. I could relate to a lot of things said by the characters, not because I am a colored woman but because the themes are universal and timeless. The acting is great, except for Janet Jackson; sorry, but she was too painful to watch as far as I am concerned. I think that all the story are very well linked. I've never seen the Broadway piece, nor read the book so as far as I'm concerned, this is a masterpiece. Oscar-material? I doubt it but it definitely speaks to the public. I commend the whole cast, especially the male actors who weren't afraid to take part into this. At least, it shows that some men know where their manhood lie and they don't feel castrated or bashed because of some of the characters. I'd encourage people to go see the movie, to not be stopped by the title. Hey, black, white, yellow, they're all colors. Date-rape, abortion, domestic violence don't target people based on the color of their skin. People with no empathy who have been raised or enjoyed living in a sheltered world where pain doesn't exist would have a lot of difficulty relating to the movie so save your pennies, if you fall into that category. And my girl Thandie Newton was damn good!!! I definitely like her as a b... h than a goody-two-shoes. A British actress playing American b... hes like she's been living like that her whole life, that's great acting!
