Madea Goes to Jail (2006)
I loved it!
I agree that it did sort of drag during the last part, but all-in-all I got so many laughs from watching this. There were also many wonderful "food for thought" moments whenever Madea would spout her wisdom. The music was fantastic, and delivered by gifted singers. I loved the moves the "backup singers" did behind the sofa. I think this is perhaps the best of all the Tyler Perry films...and I am a huge fan of anything he does. He knows his audience well, and is so good at conveying important messages through his scripts. It's rare that I see a film or play that gives me so many laughs AND so many truths that make me want to stand up and shout, "YES!!!" Tyler Perry is a young genius, and I hope he produces much, much more material!
Holes (2003)
Fantastic!
I have read this book to my class every year since it came out, and it has always been a favorite with my students. I was thrilled with the movie! Jon Voight as Mr. Sir was priceless, and Sigourney Weaver was perfect as the warden. I would imagine that those who read the book first might enjoy the movie more. The movie was panned by a local film critic in the Memphis paper......maybe he didn't read the book. Or maybe he's just an idiot! This is a fantastic movie, destined to be a favorite for a long time.
