My dingaling, my dingaling, I want you to play with my dingalingggg!!

Well I must admit I loved the movie!! Of course Adrian Brody is quite attractive. . . but I digress!! There was such a difference between Ray and Cadillac Records. Even the way it's filmed!! For example, the portion of Ray we watched was more brightly lit and the feeling was more that of overcoming as opposed to the. . . crumbling feeling of Cadillac records. Most of the scenes in Cadillac Records were more dimly lit, thus giving the viewer a "bluer" (ignore the Pun) feeling. I liked however that famous stars came in to play the also famous roles.It gave an interesting perspective into the famous music we all know. Also, the fact that smack was as big of an issue then as it was now. Aside from the popular drug users of the mid 20-th century, It's typically seen only as a problem in later bands and almost synonymous with modern musicians. I loved the role of Muddy Waters. Side note- Chuck Berry is essentially epic although I think he's got to be a piece of driftwood now or the Crypt keeper's stand in (80+ years old). I wanna see him do the duck walk now!!
