I saw a preview for this before "I, Robot" and it looks like its going to be huge. I remember at the end I saw Jamie Behind the piano playing "A Song for You" in a very intimate room with people. I expect this to be a MEGA hit!! It looks like he pulls of Charles' manerisms extremly well. I can't wait to see this. Anyone know the director?
Then after that preview we saw a preview for "Beyond the Sea" about the life and careeer or Bobby Darrin. Mark my words, this will be Spacey's biggest success yet.

How about a movie about Donny Hathaway already?

my friend saw an advance screening of "Ray", and she simply raved about it.

From the looks of the previews, this will be the one to make Jaime Foxx be considered a truly great actor and not just a comedian.

Early buzz is that he might get an oscar nod for his performance.

Early word is that he gives a fantastic performance.


Wow.... is crazy how far this guy has come....

From Wanda on In Livin Color! to a possible (and probable) Oscar nod.... sweet. He is a solid actor and the preview for Ray looked great. I cant wait.

I saw the trailer last week and it looks really good. I can't wait to see it. I really liked Jamie in Collateral too.

153 minutes. Yikes!

My impression (note: impression, not even an opinion) is that "Ray" is an Oscar bid for Jamie Foxx. What seems interesting is that the film was probably not intended to be a vehicle for the actor, but that his subsequent performance may have turned this product to gold and the marketers are deciding to push it like that.

Because my impression of the FILM is that it looks very polished, very respectful, and a bit dull. Not the story, but the film itself looks like a typical bio-pic. A dynamite performance can elevate it of course. And the music will undoubtedly by the reason I see it, but I don't expect anything special.

Note: these are impressions, not opinions on the film and certainly not criticisms.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ray will give Foxx an Oscar nom this year. Between his work here and in Collateral he deserves it if you ask me.
With Charles' death still looming above this will seriously give this film a good box office in take.

Ray looks good. Beyond the Sea, not so good.

REALLY looking forward to this one.. I hope Jamie does a good job with it. Saw the preview in HD/5.1 on INHD! Looks good
