"The Secret Lives of Bees"

I'm not even done with this movie yet, & it's amazing. Why didn't this movie get more attention? Why didn't these people win awards?

Queen Latifah is one of my favorite people in Hollywood. I love her. I have worked with her several times, and she is the nicest, classiest lady. I just adore her. And she's such a phenomenal, highly underrated actress. She's just amazing in this movie.

Dakota Fanning has always been a great little actress.

Jennifer Hudson is just great, Alicia Keys is amazingly good, and Sophie Okonedo is a wonder. She's just incredible.

This movie made me cry like a baby. It's so sad. There are obviously sad parts, but what's saddest to me is the racism scenes. It sounds so trite, but I'm so ashamed about how my "white folk" acted back in those times. It's disgusting to watch these scenes. I get furious & hate my own people. It's just appalling.

I loved the book when I read it. I should rent the movie soon.

You definitely should. I haven't read the book, so I can't promise you won't be disappointed, but the movie was good to me.
