| | Can the Michael Ealy Era Begin? |
 | | In “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” he is a rough hardworking man who gambles, but is sensitive enough to tell the woman he loves that she is totally free to be herself, and that she “is the kind of woman who makes a man forget to grow old, forget to die.” Damn. |
| | Ealy is able to convey, with his chiseled features and blue eyes, both enough vulnerability and toughness to make him acceptable to both the male hip hop-erati and to female filmgoers, who need to see some heart. |
| | One reason that Ealy's character, also named Michael, is allowed to shine is because DMX's character is such a snake, and, when Hollywood allows us, we always rout for the underdog. |
