I like Jamie Foxx a lot, and this is impressive work, especially the singing; he’s getting the Oscar for sure. But the movie pointed up the problem with all bio-pics, which is that the movie …

No movie with a scene in which John Malkovich 1) gets pelted with fish, then 2) disses Terry Kinney can be all bad, but this one is pretty damn bad. It’s derivative, it tries too …
