Respect (2021)
Love Aretha, JHUD and Wayans saved this
Movie was not well made, but we support Aretha. There is no real plot or progression. Characters and major life moments are not explained. If you're an Aretha fan and of a certain age, you already know what happened and can fill in the blanks. But, this isn't a good production. Marlon Wayans and J Hud did as good of a job as they could. Wayans is the standout with this more serious role. He needs more of these types and could really carry a whole non comedic movie. Honestly they saved the show. I don't regret paying for the movie. I regret this is what they came up with to honor the Queen. There's another unauthorized biopic,
Genius, that does so much better. I'm just disappointed. I wanted years to see this, then to be released in theaters only... now to get to streaming... and well... this is the product? I hope her estate tries this again. She deserves much better. Either way, it was nice remembering the Queen of Soul.
Murder on the 13th Floor (2012)
Could have been good
Movie was decent until the hitmen took too long to make the hit. The wife shouldve shot them both when she had a chance. Then divorced the husband leaving him maxed out in debt. The movied failed at the very end.
