Like Something The Lord Made
Wow! I watched Something The Lord Made tonight last night and was thoroughly captivated. I have been wanting to see it for some time and have had it on my Blockbuster Online list almost from the start (it actually got sent out once but never made it to me) SG, being the thoughtful guy that he is and knowing I have been wanting to see it, noticed it was on Monday night and programmed it in for us to watch during dinner.
Consummately captivated - I love small movies like this. Alan Rickman was, as usual, brilliant. Mos Def showcased Vivien Thomas' genius, and his vulnerability. The story held your attention, even though you know how it turns out. (I do wonder how much of it was fictionalized, though I would love for every frame to have been true)
Can't think of anyone in my circle I wouldn't expect to enjoy and benefit from this film. Word of Mouth scale, therefore: 
It loses half a star for being hard to get my hands on.
glad you enjoyed it, baby!!! sorry that i wasn't UP for your needs and/or expectations for the evening... i will try and keep you happier the next time we watch a movie together!
