Well....That's about all I can say about "Precious". May Berry is speechless. I was sort of looking forward to seeing this. Concerned about the eclectic casting, and trying to tell this dark story. I was afraid it would be a nightmare. Artistic endeavors that involve such stories can be disappointing. This movie was acted, filmed, cast, and executed in such a way that even as it got darker and darker I was aware something important was happening. This story is unbelievable...I sigh with relief this is a work of fiction. Even in her circumstances this young woman gives us something..she gives us the gift of hope, of committing, of reaching for things that seem almost impossible for some and embarrassingly easy for others. She says,in one scene, that she never talked in class before. The teacher asks her how it made her feel. Precious simply replies "here, it makes me feel here". This movie sure is. I will be rooting for awards for this movie and everyone that touched it.On the other hand...(notice who got the small poster)"New Moon" was everything I expected it not to be..boring, longish,and pointless. If you feel like watching some beautiful Indian boys with no shirts on..then your home. May Berry squirmed in delight!! As far as our drab heroine and the not-as-hot as I remembered "Edward". Ehh. How much rain can there be? How boring and miserable can you be and still expect us to get it? I recommend reading the books from here out if you are going to understand this series of films. It makes me sad,that in the long run,"Precious " may be outshone by this watery mess.
Enough of that, I have to go get my face together and get outside! Honestly, there must be a man out there ...I see them all over the place! I just have to put on my Farragamos and chase one(or two)down! I'll call and let you know how it goes...Don't wait up!
