Ray

This movie biography of American music icon Ray Charles is reverential – with a spitting-image performance by Jamie Foxx – yet you’ll find more heartache, passion and pure
emotion in the two-and-a-half minutes of What Would I Do Without You than in this picture’s more than two hours. Ray is a tribute movie, really, something that might have been commissioned for Charles’ funeral.

Recent Reviews

Rose of Nevada (2026)

Horror Rated NR

“…a work of oblique horror, a ghost story that’s something of an apparition itself.”

Z (1969)

Drama Rated NR

“. . . a bitter, brilliant pill to swallow.”

Power Ballad (2026)

Drama Rated R

“If you weren’t a dad before seeing Power Ballad, you’d likely be transformed into one by the movie’s end.”
