Cadillac Records and Beyonce As Etta James

I was invited to a private screening of Cadillac Records yesterday evening and I was really blown away by the acting. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect except for seeing Beyonce wearing a short blonde wig, but the movie was REALLY GOOD! Now, i’m no movie critic, but I was definitely entertained. The acting was good, the singing was amazing, and Beyonce was a show stopper! Did I fail to mention that she also Executive Produced the film….Beyonce is just amazing, but on with the film….

“Cadillac Records” brings to life the rise of Chess Records in a sexy film depicting the artistic journey of it’s recording artists. The movie takes place in Chicago during the 1950′s. Jeffrey Wright played the role of Muddy Waters all too well. He was extremely convincing in playing the role of the music legend as was Adrien Brody in playing the role of Leonard Chess, owner of Chess Records.

The Movie comes out this Friday, December 5th! Don’t Miss out peeps.
