Alice Reese, Herald-Banner movie critic, says Jennifer Hudson is more than up to the task of portraying "the Queen of Soul" Aretha Franklin in the new movie, "Respect."  In particular, Alice says her singing sounds remarkably like Aretha.  Alice also reviews the comedy "Free Guy" and the drama "Coda."
