Keep the Faith, Baby (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had really waited for a movie on the great "Adam Clayton Powell" for years. When most politicians die there is a movie out on them right away....Not Powell, I had to wait for this one and it was worth waiting for. I followed the politics of Mr. Powel when I was quite young and was always impressed with his brillance and nerve to always speak out on things that lots of others were afraid to speak out on. I really enjoyed this movie and found the cast quite well assigned. If you have an historical section as a part of your collection, this is a must have. You won't find a whole lot of his actions and promotions in your average american history book. You'll need to put roles played by our folk in your own History Book. This is one of the chapters.

The Courage to Love (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)very attractive and talented Creole woman named Henriette Delille, who chose the rigors of convent life over a very comfortable placage with a wealthy white benefactor who could gave her the world if she wants it. She saw the evil in placage and didn't want any part of it because it would be against God's law against living in sin. She seen it firsthand with her parents. Her father wanted out of it so he could marry a white woman in order to have legitimate offspring while her mother slowly goes insane not only of her lover's abandonment but also of her daughter's refusal to follow her footsteps in taking a white lover without being married.
All her life, Henriette deLille devoted her life to helping the poor and enslaved of Louisiana, even going against the authorities to do so. It's not an easy life to live but it's a purposeful one. One that emphasize a life of service and devotion to spiritual matters.
Vanessa L. Williams has done a great job in portraying Henriette Delille.

Alex Haley's Queen (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have loved Alex Haley's "Queen" since I was a little girl. It's so ironic this came out on DVD because I have been periodically checking to see if it had been released on DVD yet. I am so glad to see it!
To respond to some concerns about the DVD, they did not leave any parts of the movie out. When the first episode ends, be sure to go to the main menu and choose Episode two. That will show the parts of the film that people say are missing.
Also, coming from someone who has read the book more than once, no character in the film is random. They are all there for a purpose and their story is relevant to Queen's life in the book.
