Akeelah and the Bee
Spell On Earth
Trailers
Outta all the modern spelling movies I've seen (Spellbound/On Your Knees Season) and filmed entertainments involving the Spelling clan, letter for letter, Akeelah is the grand prize trophy winner of them all, in my mind, and mos importantly, in my heart. Sure, the outcome is a tad predictable (I mean, isn't a child gunning down all over her classmates with an uzi so passé these days?), but the journey that Akeelah takes from reluctant speller to outright queen of the alphabet had me at 'can I have the word's origin, please?' I'm a sucker, of and for many things (like large cock lollipops), but hispecially for franztastic heartwarming stories about overcoming odds in the least likely of places. There is not one negative thing I could say about this, cept I was crying so dang much, that I think I lost most of my street cred that day. Everyone involved is the knees forkin BEEs, from our lil hero-ette Akeelah (Keke Palmer), to her feisty mentor (Laurence Fishburne, sportin a killah beard, yo!), to her widowed mother (Angela Bassett), to her rival's asshole father (Jack Bauer's wurst nightmare), to even her pal of princes principal, played by the one and only Booger, who's single-handedly having one the bestest, mos quietest career resurrections since Jesus Christ joined the Steppenwolf Theater Co. ABCee this now!!! You won't be disappointed. Trust me, or e-a-t s-h-i-t a-n-d d-i-e!!
Recommended for those who like: Crabman, Scrabble (or even Yahoo!'s ghetro version Literati), and movies funded by overpriced disgusting coffee
