Rating: - great!
This movie is one of my favorites. It's funny how most of my favorites star Halle Berry, my other favorite is Their Eyes Were Watching God. I'm a huge fan of Zora Neale Hurston. Anyway this movie is a must-see. It's long, it's great, it's based on true events, and it never get's boring. I love it!

Rating: - great
I watched this movie when it first came out many years ago and I also noticed a scene has been removed from the DVD that was originally in the film but it is still a movie that is worth watching more then once, its educational and a part of american history.

- Queen
I enjoyed the story line of the movie Queen but wasn't impressed with Halley Berry's performance.The movie itself was excellent.
Rating: - Good partner to Roots!
I found this movie to be quite good, especially with Jasmine Guy as Easter and Halle Berry as Queen.Ann-Margret was excellent as always ... and major kudos to Danny Glover as Queen's husband, who would bear the last name Haley.It is Queen's son Simon who marries Bertha Palmer (the descendant of Kunta Kinte from Roots) ... and from that union we get Alex Haley.
