MARK YOUR CALENDARS: 'THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES'

I am so amped to see The Secret Life Of Bees movie which stars a roster of greats like Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, and Sophie Okondeo. After doing a little research about the movie, it made me want to see this film even more! Set in 1964 South Carolina, the film is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and the troubled relationship with her father, she flees with her caregiver and only friend (Hudson), to a small town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping. The film was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and executive- produced by Will Smith.

Be on the lookout when it hits theatres October 17, 2008.
