Jamie Foxx takes himself way too seriously.

Go check out 'MAD!' issue March '05 and see a Jaimie Fox

 

He was OK in Jarhead but maybe because it didn't require so much acting as memorising and repeating lines for him.

And he really lost alot of ground for me when he was "featured" in Kanye West's stupid Golddigger song cause he'd sampled a bit of one of the songs from Ray.
Now it's a well-known fact that Jamie Foxx mimed all the songs in Ray so the credit probably should have been "Featuring Ray Charles as mimed by Jamie Foxx in a recent film".

 

I thought he was great in Collateral, but Ray is overrated.

 

I thought that both were good flicks. And while he may not be a great singer, Jamie Foxx isn't bad. The problem is, he is nothing compared to Ray Charles vocally. That's why he was unable to actually sing for him. It made the movie better that way, in my opinion.

Joiquain(sp?) Phoenix did all the singing for "Walk the Line" I believe. That turned out pretty well, but he was more suited to sing Johnny Cash than Jamie Foxx was suited to sing Ray Charles.

As for "Collateral," I was very impressed. Tom Cruise may be a complete nutcase offscreen, but people bash his acting too much. Jamie Foxx also did a good job, and the fact that he has a few respectable movie roles that he can fall back on makes him take himself more seriously, as he should.

 

He mimed it in the movie but he was really singing in Gold digger.

Oy! is that some kind of crack at pineapples? If you have a problem with pineapples I suggest you take it to this thread.

 

The majority of Denzel's roles haven't had anything to do with that. Just because people only like to pay attention when he's cast as a bad guy doesn't meant that's all he does.

Watch him as Malcom X, for instance. That is a moving, powerful, classic performance.

 

I love my job. I thank god for every day he gives me in the corps. hoo-ra.
