Cadillac Records stars Jeffrey Wright (Basquiat) as Muddy Waters in a portrait of Chicago's golden age of blues. A.O. Scott at the Times calls it "rollicking and insightful...[Wright's] feat is made even more impressive and interesting when you reflect that in the same movie season Mr. Wright has portrayed another notable real-life African-American, the former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, in Oliver Stone’s W. The man is equally credible as a statesman and a bluesman. If that’s not range, what is?"
Scott adds that "Cadillac Records would be worth seeing for the music alone. Mr. Wright’s renditions of Muddy Waters’s signature songs are more than respectable, while [Beyonce] Knowles’s interpretations of [Etta] James’s hits — 'At Last' and 'I’d Rather Go Blind,' in particular — are downright revelatory."

"Does it have to be so witless, so stupid, so openly contemptuous of the very audience it’s supposed to be pandering to?"
i'm afraid garth ennis has ruined the punisher forever.
The irony is that anyone would make a flick about a tv interview that sucked and showed no real insight into Nixon. I know, I watched that crap when it aired and David Frost was supposed to be this big deal that could get the truth out of anybody. Nobody ever got the truth from Tricky.
