It's quite true to life - Ray Charles helped make the film before he died and was able to "see" the final product and approved of it.
Recent movies I've seen:
Baise Moi: 7/10
The film itself isn't that compelling, but it's a fun watch. It's a French movie about two women from lower class France who, after having terrible things happen around them, go on a spree of sex and violence. (Note: the stars are French porn stars and, while the movie is not porn, it has hardcore sex) As one reviewer called it: Thelma and Louise on crack.
Family Guy movie: 8/10
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: 7/10
Funny movie, but not as good as I expected from Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, and Willem Dafoe
The Machinist: 9/10
Excellent movie. Christian Bale looks absolutely haunting at 120 pounds. Quite a lot of symbolism.
