60 of 88 · most liked firstThe voice of a generation--actually of many generations. A brilliant actor. A trailblazer. And on Broadway, the original Troy Maxson in Fences and the greatest Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof I have ever seen. RIP James Earl Jones. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

He also made a movie called SEXYCOP.

Sure, they stop the shark by the end of the movie, BUT THE KARATE MUNCHKINS ARE STILL OUT THERE CHOPPING THE HELL OUTTA FENCES *THAT* should have been the focus of Jaws 2! #Jaws2024

neutral · AI labelView post →Oh I've heard she's very good, I'm not taking away from her at all - just on principle if the play is great you have to accept the staginess on film. Hytner's Crucible, Glengarry, Fences, etc. Not great MOVIES but they get the play across.

neutral · AI labelView post →In addition to numerous movie and TV roles, especially Picket Fences, I had the great pleasure of seeing Tom Skerritt in Straight White Males on Broadway several years back. He's one of those actors that was so good, he made it look effortless. May he rest in peace.
neutral · AI labelView post →Fences. I got to see the play in high school. The movie is really good.
positive · AI labelView post →A Film to Watch! This film adaptation of the play “Fences” by August Wilson stars Viola Davis and Denzel Washington. It follows a Black father trying to raise and support his family in the 1950s while dealing with his own misgivings. It’s poignantly beautiful and emotional. 🎬Denzel Washington

negative · AI labelView post →Oscar Month #11: Fences (2016) Viola Davis won the "O" in her EGOT for her Best Supporting Actress performance in this adaptation of an August Wilson play, directed by & starring Denzel Washington. Performances are great but the film never really overcomes its basic origin as a stageplay. #Filmsky 📽️

We hung on every word of every scene. Felt like an actual roller coaster. The experience alone made me opinion of that movie shoot WAY up
