Advantages: Superb performance by Jamie Foxx Disadvantages: Long and dull at times
and his music, and that is a good thing. However, much of the film was dull and monotonous and I really struggled at times not to turn it off. I am so glad that I didn't see it in the cinema - at two and a half hours it really is way too long and although I can imagine that the director wanted to do justice by Ray's life, he did so to the detriment of audience pleasure.

Just about recommended.
The DVD is available from play.com for £5.99, but I picked mine up in Asda for just £2.

They already exist in the unofficial appworld so it technically works on the iPhone. So it's in no way uncapable of doing this. People dropping these comments are to locked up in the traditional views of a cellphone. You unbox a new Nokia and it comes with 30 basic functions pf which you maybe use 5. iPhone on the other hands comes with 30 of its own functions and then you can customized it from the range of 1000's of apps, based on what you feel you need at the moment. I for one don't miss MMS ...
