How do you spell awesome?

Check out Akeelah and the Bee if you haven't already. If you've been looking for a family movie that doesn't make you cringe. This is the perfect movie. It's inspiring, emotional and sweet.

Akeelah learns to dream big, face her fears and grows closer to her family and friends along the way. During the movie they read the following quote for inspirational writer Marianne Williamson.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

So what's next for Laurence Fishburne? He is co-directing the film The Alchemist set to come out in 2009. He also wrote the screenplay and is producing this film based on the Paulo Coelho novel. I can't wait to see this intense treasure-hunting story. Hopefully a trailer will be ready soon...fingers crossed!
