Movie description
Jamie Foxx stars in this biopic of legendary soul and R&B singer Ray Charles. Skillfully edited and with a keen eye for period detail, the narrative weaves in and out of the past in an interlocking tapestry of the man's rise to fame in the 1950s and '60s. Growing up poor, black, and blind in the rural south, Charles learns--under the tutelage of his tough-love mother (Sharon Warren)--to turn these handicaps into assets. With this training, Ray eventually plays his way into a major deal with Paramount records and earns icon status as an American legend. Along the way, the high cost of fame leads him to engage in abusive relationships, manipulative behavior, and struggles with drug and alcohol problems. This is a dynamite film for the music alone (Charles's actual recordings are used in the film), but Foxx's career-benchmark performance transcends RAY's biopic roots, turning this into a piercing, full-on character study: unflinching, sometimes harrowing, and ultimately deeply moving. The sheer joy of Charles's music comes alive in Foxx's movements, and his character matures convincingly and powerfully. A stellar supporting cast is on hand to back him up every step of the way, including Larenz Tate as producer Quincy Jones, and Kerry Washington as Ray's long-suffering wife, Regina.

Editorial reviews
"Foxx's fierce, funny, deeply felt performance deserves to be legendary....Foxx rides this winner to glory." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/11/2004) "[A] satisfying picture....[With] Mr. Foxx's inventive, intuitive, and supremely intelligent performance." New York Times - A. O. Scott (10/29/2004) "RAY could not have been made without star Jamie Foxx....His portrayal of Ray Charles is such a landmark in making the difficult look natural that you won't talk about anything else when you exit the theater." USA Today - Mike Clark (10/29/2004) "One of the striking things about RAY is the way Foxx's performance gives the uncanny impression of watching the real Charles reliving his life on screen. The actor makes us believe that what's in front of our eyes really happened." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/29/2004) "Foxx feels his way into every groove and tremor of that voice -- the sheer locomotive power of it, and the shades of gravelly tenderness, too." Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (11/05/2004) [T]he musical numbers are superbly handled. The sound is extraordinary..." Movieline's Hollywood Life - Stephen Farber (12/01/2004) "Built around a magnetic performance by Jamie Foxx....[He] brilliantly inhabits Ray's mannerisms..." Uncut - Nick Hasted (02/01/2005) "Foxx's performance is superb in its naturalism and meticulous in its attention to detail....The music provides the most straightforward pleasure in an enjoyable and straightforward film..." Sight and Sound - Sam Davies (02/01/2005)

Other Common Questions And Other Faqs

I Live Canada but have a US address. Can you allow me to bid?

You must be registered in the US in order to bid on my auctions. I cannot remove this restriction without opening up all of my auctions to Non US bidders.

Do you accept any other payment methods aside from Paypal?

No, Due to Ebay's new rules, I can only accept Electronic forms of payment

I just made my payment. Can you leave me feedback?

Yes, I use an automated feedback system. Feedback is usually left within a couple of days after I have shipped the item.

I entered the delivery confirmation number. Where is my item?

The delivery confirmation number is not a true tracking number. The US Postal Service does not track consistently. For some packages, they show every stop the package made, while on others they don't show everything until it is delivered. Also, they only update their system once a night. I usually send out the delivery confirmation number before it shows up in their system.

I live close by. Can I pick up my item?

Unfortunately, it is a hassle for me to do this. I have to set up an appointment and wait for someone to come over. It is not worth the effort on my part. I don't want to turn my house into a store.

Can you sell me this item now for $100?

No. I am not interested in bartering or ending my auctions early. It is a violation of EBAY rules to end an auction early and sell directly to someone. If you are interested in this item, you must OUTBID the other bidders for it.

This is a present for a loved one. Can you mail it to a different address?

Yes. I will mail most packages to any address that you want as long as it is a US address.

This is a present. Can you get it to me by a certain date?
