Theater people have been talking for decades about James Earl Jones playing Big Daddy. The established white Southern setting of Tennessee Williams's "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" notwithstanding, Jones, the barrel-chested actor with the inimitable basso profundo, strikes many as a natural fit for the foul-tempered, vulgar landowner. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)
On Broadway, it's back to the '50s Feb 26, 2008
Those words, by the way, were written by Tennessee Williams, the dominant American playwright of that era, whose "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1955), his biggest commercial hit during his lifetime, opens next month in a revival starring Terrence Howard and James Earl Jones. Williams's affectionate appraisal of Inge elicits another trait common to the dramas of the 1950s, including his own: a strong sense that mendacity to use the watchword of "Cat" begins at home, among families that seem pretty and...

New releases Feb 23, 2008
"Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins" A comedy that wants us to believe that James Earl Jones and Margaret Avery could be the proudish parents of Martin Lawrence, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Mo'Nique. You can't ask comedy to pull that off when it's science fiction's job. (Boston Globe)
'Cat' extends run without Howard Feb 22, 2008
With no reviews yet to build buzz, the production's healthy pre-opening B.O. comes thanks in large part to the show's starry cast, including Howard, Anika Noni Rose, James Earl Jones and Phylicia Rashad.

MOVIE REVIEW: 'Roscoe Jenkins' avoids typical comedy cliches Feb 17, 2008

Under a Killing Moon Review Feb 13, 2008
The cast was an odd mix of Hollywood vets like James Earl Jones, Russell Means, and Margot Kidder, alongside moonlighting computer programmers, with the game's director doubling as its lead character.

Happy Returns Feb 8, 2008
Roscoe has a different beef with every relative and a Big Mac of one with his dad (a frowning and majestic James Earl Jones, who wields parental guilt like a Jedi mind trick). "Roscoe Jenkins" is easily the best Martin Lawrence comedy I've seen, less gooey than the similar Tyler Perry movie "Madea's Family Reunion" and better, even, than most of cousin Spike's overwrought and obvious message movies.

Behind the lectern he cut an elegant figure in tweed and corduroy; his voice and diction, like that of the actor James Earl Jones, filled the ears and fired the heart.
