  4. Movie review: 'Norbit'

    <b>2 stars (out of four)</b>
    Tribune movie critic
    2 stars (out of four) With his brazen gifts for mimicry, Eddie Murphy may now be the Peter Sellers of blockbuster toilet comedy movies. His "Norbit" is a comedy for masochists--an often awful parade of flatulent gags about big butts, sadistic...

  5. Movie review: 'The Gospel'

    Tribune movie critic
    2½ stars (out of four) The look and sound of "The Gospel" may be glossy and modern, but the central story—about a dying father and a prodigal son—is as old as the hills. And the musical-religious mix at least as old as Ray Charles' classic mix of...

  6. 'The Gospel'

    Rob Hardy's "The Gospel" is another solid entry in the burgeoning African American faith-based genre that favors inclusiveness over preachiness and presents multidimensional characters. Featuring a number of noted gospel singers, "The Gospel" is rousing, affirmative entertainment.

  7. Movie review: 'Civil Brand'

    Chicago Tribune Staff Writer
    1 star(out of 4) If ever a movie cried out to be aired on Lifetime Television for Women, it's the women's-prison movie "Civil Brand." Thankfully, gratuitous swearing nixes it from the cable channel's consideration, so relatively few people will spend 95...

  8. Movie review: 'Ray'

    TRIBUNE MOVIE CRITIC
    4 stars (out of 4) When you play a genius on screen, you better have the right stuff yourself, or the camera will shrivel you. That doesn't happen in "Ray." In this triumphant musical movie-bio, Jamie Foxx gives a landmark performance as soul, jazz...

  9. Movie review: 'Woman, Thou Art Loosed'

    TRIBUNE STAFF REPORTER
    1 ½ stars (out of 4) Contrary to the similar title, "Woman, Thou Art Loosed" isn't a sequel to the Coens' "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Instead, it's a TV-movie-caliber polemic based on preacher T.D. Jakes' best-selling seminar, novel and stage play of...

  10. 'Woman, Thou Art Loosed'

    After a shocker of a prologue, "Woman, Thou Art Loosed" cuts to a preacher visiting a young woman on death row in an unnamed prison. The minister is the real thing, Bishop T.D. Jakes, and three years ago Time magazine put him on its cover as "America's best preacher." This powerful picture, which Stan Foster adapted from Jakes' novel, is the real thing too, showing just how rape can damage a child for life.

  11. 'Ray'

    From the moment director Taylor Hackford starts "Ray" with a shot of Jamie Foxx's fingers hitting the piano keys and breaking into the unmistakable rhythms of "What'd I Say," it's clear that Ray Charles' unstoppable music will power this film. It's axiomatic that any picture with songs like "I Got a Woman," "Georgia on My Mind," "Hit the Road Jack" and "I Can't Stop Loving You" is going to get cut all the slack it needs.

  12. 'Civil Brand'

    With the fiery "Civil Brand," director Neema Barnette, in her theatrical feature debut, resurrects that old exploitation genre favorite, the women's prison picture, as an expos&#233; of that contemporary phenomenon, the prison-industrial complex.
