Kevin P. Chavous: College Readiness Is More Than Academics
Directed by Tyler Perry, the film, 'For Colored Girls' stars Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise, Thandie Newton, Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Kerry Washington, Whoopi Goldberg and Macy Gray.
Hollywood As I Live And Work has posted nearly ten minutes of footage from the much buzzed about film, which opens on Nov.5.
"Making a film based on 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf' is a dream come true for me," Perry said about the project. "Ntozake Shange's play is a magnificent tribute to the strength and dignity of women of color, and I think audiences of all generations will be able to recognize and embrace the experiences these women represent. Creatively, this movie is one of the most exciting undertakings of my career."

I will be one of the first in line. Can't wait to see the movie. Also can't wait to see if Janet's acting has improved. Janet fans plz don't get mad at me; but generally she can't act. Sorry Fans.

How about a movie titled "For White Girls", or isnt that politically correct?

That would be "Steel Magnolias", "Fried Green Tomatoes", and "The Women"

The movie For Colored Girls was very well done and the acting was super. the movie depicted a way of life that is all too common for many black women. Linda
