Someday, when I get time (which means, probably never), I'm going to write up an actual review of the movie my mom and I watched yesterday afternoon. But until that time comes, let me just say that AKEELAH AND THE BEE is a wonderful, deeply satisfying movie that's mostly safe for the whole family to watch. It's a sports movie about spelling champions. It's STAND AND DELIVER meets ROCKY. It has Laurence Fishburne in a very appealing and textured role.
And I love me some Laurence Fishburne.
Rent it. Buy it. Watch it on The Movie Channel, where I saw it. If you love words, if you love learning, if you love big dreams and hard work being paid off, then you'll love AKEELAH AND THE BEE.

What was the movie you guys watched yesterday? Or was that the Bee movie?
I saw Iron Man. That was pretty good.
I enjoyed Akeelah, too. Hey, that would be a good one to show my class as the year winds down....
Ahhh Laurence. I love him too. I'll have to find this movie.
