Cadillac Records

Think you know the history of Rock & Roll? Think again. At least consider what this story has to offer. All based on real people and events. In fact if history were based solely on court findings, this WOULD be the story and we might have to declare a new king. Is America ready for that?

I truly enjoyed this movie because it is first and foremost a story about music and the people who made it. The acting is superb. What an amazing cast.

Adrian Brody is Leonard Chess the man behind Chess Records who recorded the likes of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Etta James, Chuck Berry, and Howlin Wolf. Oh yeah, and the Rolling Stones show up too.

It is obvious the whole cast got WAY into their roles here. It was all music I have known and loved for years and watching the movie I forgot it was a movie. That's good story telling.

Jeffrey Wright is an amazing talent. Beyoncé Knowles proves again she can do much much more than sing. Last but not least Mos Def is perfect as Chuck Berry.

Watch this movie with someone who thinks they know the history of Rock & Roll.
