DVD Reviews of Alex Haley's Queen
DVD Review: Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie and I am happy I was able to add it to my collectionDVD Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars
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.DVD Review: Queen
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the story line of the movie Queen but wasn't impressed with Halley Berry's performance. The movie itself was excellent.DVD Review: Good partner to Roots!
Summary: 5 Stars
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. DVD Review: tim daly is such a sexy looking good looking handsome actor! love him as Queen father.Easter lover etc.Love the movie so much!
Summary: 5 Stars
see no issue with the dvd.i'm actuallymaking copies for my amiga tonight.i love it.love how she dealt with later on the whole mixed blackwhite problem.got raped then has to deal with white women jealousy of
her,even her own black people at times.Sad.but i love her Strong womanly
Strength toward the end best,enjoying her scenes though throughout it all.
i did love how she did "realize:"later on where she her son etc belong &
finally was truly "loved"in the end.i love her scenes with her "father" tim daly,he is such a good actor in this.so good looking.i love the way he did adore her lovely Mother"easter" but just not enough to Marry her back then etc.as marrying a woman whose white who clearly he might have love somewhat,but NOT at all as MUCH as the lovely black woman/slave Easter who born his child.i love each part but mainly with that handsome sexy good looking ACTOR TIM DALY i love him in "each scene"with pretty and the talented "whitley"from a different world actress Jasmine GUY! love it all,and also ann magaret a VERY great actress in this and few other movies i see her in danny glover is good too as my fave bella halle so beautifully talented she is really an amazing woman actress love her to death. i can envision each time watching ROOTS this as being Alex Haley grandmother on his father side,that is how GREAT! her acting is etc just enjoying the whole cast did superb like Martin Sheen in this classic too! the best movies are back in the day on our heritage slavery etc. true life stories are best drama etc. in my opinion.Lonette Mckee lovely self was also in this as alice.I enjoy her films too t.v.shows etcd.
i just lOVE ALL ALEX HALEY Saga.have the whole collection, i can easily give as all of ROOTS movies etc. now queen 10 stars,.seen it 1st on television in the mid to late 1990s.i love this film
happy new year to all!
adios.
Description of Alex Haley's Queen
There are two sides to every story, the saying goes. For Alex Haley, one side was roots, the towering chronicle tracing severn generations of his mother's family. The othe side comes to the screen in Alex Haley's Queen, the remarkable history of a paternal side of the author's family. David L. Wolper (Roots, The Thorn Birds) is the executive producer of this acclaimed adaption of the story Haley was working on when he died. Halle Berry plays Queen, daughter of a slave (Jasmine Guy) and a plantation owner (Tim Daly). During the turbulent decades of the antebellum South, the Civil war, Reconstruction and beyond, she searches for a home in the two cultures of her heritage - and at times is shunned by both. Rejection and hate are no match for her unconquerable will, however. Ann-Margret, Danny Glover, and Ossie Davis are among the many stars of this poingnant, uplifting final chapter of the Haley legacy.General DVDs
