      Therefore, there is always no desire to see its wonderfulness, and there is always desire to see it.

      "Soul Men", translated into Chinese as "Soul Singer", is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and starring Samuel L. Jackson. The band was originally composed of three people, and they were once shining stars in the music world, but the lead singer went solo, the band collapsed instantly, and the fates of the three were very different. The lead singer continued his career as an artist, while the other went to sea to become a businessman. Although he made a small profit, the business was harvested by his...

      RIP Bernie Mac & Isaac Hayes

      A fateful story
      with a fateful ending.
      I can't imagine that the movie hasn't been released yet.
      Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes both left quietly.
      For this reason, Appolo also put up the commemorative slogan of RIP for the two.
      One is the old king of Stand-up Comedy, and the
      other is the soul . The leader of music, the
      death of one black artist after another in the past two years,
      accompanied by Barack Obama's ascension to the top as president,
      seems to...

      I haven't laughed like this in a long time

      I never thought samuel could play such a role, but most of the scenes that make people laugh from beginning to end belong to Bernie Mac, even though he died of pneumonia last August at the age of 50.

      Aside from the comedy factor, the other charm of this film is the music, interspersed with the dance music of Funk and Soul in the 1970s from beginning to end, and the very contagious Bass Line runs through the film. In fact, most of the music is a simple loop structure. , but these...

      Very good, friendship and trust

      A very good film
      full of laughter but not vulgar
      . Although the two old friends had a lot of grudges in the past, Freud had fallen on Lewis's woman, but after all, they met each other with a smile and a sorrowful smile. The mutual tolerance and trust between the two old friends made people feel In
      the end, the police are also tolerant and humane. Compared with the Chang'an Street Armed Police who prevented migrant workers from using flat cars to send mothers to the hospital,...

      A good movie but not many people watch it.

      But as a comedy, it was a success.
          You can't describe how comfortable it is to watch a movie so easily. And I, because I have watched a lot of tragedies recently, need a movie like this to soothe those repressed thoughts in my heart.
          The play I remember actually quoted Lao Tzu and a Chinese grappler fighting karate.
      Especially you can enjoy some beautiful Soul SONG.
          Especially the garden walk at the end of the film is really dancing, especially when I twist my...

      All I can say is that I don't understand blues, so I didn't watch this movie and thought it was good. The song is nice. Another American comedy is like...

    Movie plot

    Freud and Lewis were once smash hit singing performers, and the trio they were part of were particularly popular in the 1960s and 1970s. However, the singing group disbanded with the solo flight of frontman Marcos Hawkes. Among the three, except for Marcos, who is still engaged in singing, and has gained great fame and wealth, Freud and Louis are both doing business that has nothing to do with the singing career. Freud opened a car...

    Evaluation action

    "Soul Men" shoots a comedy musical film in the name of a documentary to commemorate the soul group Sam & Dave. Although there is a tribute, the original component is even greater. As a musical comedy, the film did not follow the traditional song and dance mode, nor did it adopt the funny mode of traditional comedy, but went to the structure of small bridges to support the audience. Whether it's the performance of the two protagonists...
