Summary
Now, I have a confession to make: I have a schoolgirl crush on Columbus Short. It's shameful, I know. But, it will be our little secret. We don't even have to mention it. On the coattails of my "[Darnell Martin] got her actors to go totally out of character" theme, Short plays a man who is constantly high and drunk. His [Little Walter] is hot-headed (he shoots a man in the face for stealing his name) and crazy-eyed. And, I've never been more proud of an actor. It's a joy watching him grow as an actor. He's even quite sexy in this latest role, despite being a hot mess.
Beyonce has also grown as an actress. When she first came onto the screen in Cadillac, midway through the movie, she seemed a little uncomfortable in the body suit she was obviously wearing; she walked kind of funny. But, once she got her groove, she became the brassy lady that [Etta James] is. I didn't know she had it in her; and I'm glad she does. It made it easier to watch the film and I've never seen her so foul-mouthed.I also have to mention the very funny Mos Def. Mos has now reached veteran status. He actually starred in MTV's Carmen: A Hip Hopera, with Beyonce. My have they grown. Should Mos continue to have an eye for the big screen, I'm sure he will continue to go many places. He's that good.See the full content of this document
