Hey Dan….thanks for sharing these facts….I appreciate the connections to two of my favorite actors…I am sure Bob and Steve will appreciate the connections to Christopher Lee. Good stuff as always.
Hi Bob, unless I’m mistaken Sing is an animated film featuring singing animals.
[Bob winces]
I’ve seen 3 Jennifer Hudson films – Sing (if it’s the animation), Sex and the City and Dreamgirls.
I’m curious to see Cats when it pops up on cable TV, is it as terrible as they say it is?
Vote Up!
HI STEVE
Thanks for educating me about Sing. So now there is NO Jennifer Hudson film that I want to see including Cats, and I appreciate you heading me off at the pass.
That’s no reflection on Jen who seems a very talented actress well deserving her Cogerson page: it’s just that I feel that the films she has made so far hold no appeal for me. However I WOULD like to see her in a movie at some stage.
Hey Bob…I suspect Respect might be one you might want to see.
Hey Steve….thanks for stopping by. I have seen 4 of the movies…so I am just a tick ahead of you. I think Bob might enjoy a movie about singing animals. I own that on DVD…but my little girls never watch it. I am also curious about Cats….but I will easily wait until I can see it for free. Good stuff!
Jennifer has a current net worth of 20 million dollars and IMDb credits her with 45 awards and 39 noms.
Her recents Cats has been a box office disaster with the studio estimating that it will suffer a loss of 71-100 million dollars.
I have seen none of her movies and my impression is that only Sing would appeal to me because of Matthew.
Mary Steenburgen gets a plug at the end of IMDB Trivia above.
Hey Bob….thanks for checking out our Jennifer Hudson page….that knocks another Oscar winner off my list of people to write about. She has had a very good career so far. Over here, her recent tribute to Kobi Bryant has put here back in the spotlight. A light that will continue to get brighter as this year progresses. If I had to pick the next Best Actress winner right now…I would pick her for her upcoming Respect movie. I have fixed my Mary issue…good stuff as always.
