Have you seen Precious? If so, let us know what you think about the movie.
I think it's one this years best.

I've always been a big fan of Mo'Nique. This is this year's The Wrestler. I'm going to watch it first chance I get.

Call me crazy, but the trailer looks meh, and I stopped being impressed by these sob story movies...considering it's been done a thousand times in the past.

I thought it was spectacular. I also thought that about Where the Wild Things Are.

The trick is to turn to your SO and laughingly say "Its funny because theyre blaque". Then no-one will think youre a racist.

Your first mistake was watching a 'Madea' movie, those films tend to stink IMO. Otherwise, there's absolutely nothing wrong with watching a film of another culture, for the most part it demonstrates an open mindset (just make sure the movie is worth watching).

Agreed! I got trapped into seeing part of one. I left before the end. Never again.

I don't have much of a desire to read a book written by an author that goes by the singular nom de plume of Sapphire.

Was thinking of seeing it, but then I found out it wasn't the latest Eddie Murphy "fat suit" comedy.
