Ray is here to stay

Ray, the film that tells the story of blind singing legend Ray Charles, is now out on DVD.

The film features a simply spectacular performance from Jamie Foxx, who won the Oscar for Best Actor at the 2004 Academy Awards for his lead role.

Foxx follows on in great style from the early promise that his career showed with films such as Any Given Sunday, Ali and Collateral.

He is joined by Regina King, who has featured in Daddy Day Care and Legally Blonde 2, as well as Kerry Washington, who is due to appear in two eagerly anticipated films, Mr. And Mrs. Smith and Fantastic Four.

Ray is written, produced and directed by Taylor Hackford. His other major works include directing Proof Of Life with Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe and the excellent The Devil's Advocate, with Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.
