Members ReddFoxx Posted May 8, 2013 Members Share Posted May 8, 2013 I've always seen some complaints from the right-wing about Jane Fonda playing Nancy Reagan, I can't wait to see them meltdown over it when the film is actually released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheilaforever Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 Kinda over-stressedon some emotions but it looks interesting. Nice seeing Oprah back acting. Loved her in the Color Purple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted May 9, 2013 Members Share Posted May 9, 2013 Oprah looks bad ass. James Marsden is great casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 Everytime I see a promo, I get all giddy inside. I think this will be the first time, I am super excited about Oprah acting. She is fierce in the previews! August 16th, please hurry!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 1, 2013 Members Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ha you act surprised. Director Lee Daniels is all about the over the top melodrama (and I'm not complaining--I found Precious overated because people did take it so seriously, but last year's The Paperboy was an instant southern gothic melodrama camp classic for me... I wonder if the rumours of him doing a film of Miss Saigon are true because I can just imagine what a glorious mess of emotion that would be.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 1, 2013 Members Share Posted August 1, 2013 And random--the screenplay is by Danny Strong (aka Jonathan from Buffy!) I know he's done some political screenplays before (as well as doing the final Hunger Games one, apparently) but still always surprises me to see his name.

Members Eric83 Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 Fantastic movie! It brought tears to my eyes multiple times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted August 18, 2013 Members Share Posted August 18, 2013 Saw it last night. Oprah was FANTASTIC!!!! In is own way the guy playing The Butler was just as good but his performance is more understated of course given his role and character. The movie overall was very very engaging throughout the first 3/4 but I thought the ending segment was a little weak. Him walking into the White House though and telling that young guy whats up was a good note to end it on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 I did not care for the movie one damn bit! The highlights: I was pleasantly surprised with Oprah. She was super impressive, and this is the first time I have been pleased with her as an actress (question, how many billionaires do we see in front of the camera as actors). David Oyelowo was fantastic! Yaya's fro was on point! Otherwise, I could not wait for that sh!t to end! And this is partly my fault because I have to think of my expectations going into these types of movies, so I will have to stick with the action and hot men stuff and carefully select others!

Members ChitHappens Posted August 19, 2013 Members Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thought I was going to love it as well, but I didn't. It was basic and boring and I'm not sure what I was supposed to get out of that movie [outside of the negative returns, of course]. And was Jane Fonda supposed to be Nancy Reagan or Frances McDormand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
