Hey there,
I watched 'Precious' last night with my roommates. The film is so well done and really follows the book. I had to read the book for a class a couple of years ago and I will never forget it (and I kept the book instead of selling it back). I think that the written word can be so powerful, enriching, motivating and moving and 'Push': A Novel by Sapphire is all of those things and more.
I just recently saw Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' with two of my friends. It was a good movie for the most part, I just forgot how demented and twisted the story was to begin with. Also, I did not like the futterwacken dance. It was just too weird. And every time Alan Rickman talked I could not help but think of Professor Snape from the Harry Potter films!
A roommate and I watched 'True Lies' last night on CMT (after we watched Pauly Shores' 'Son-in-Law' movie) and I have to say that it was a decent movie. The fight scene where Jamie Lee Curtis drops her gun and it proceeds to kill like 15 men while hitting the steps with her standing there screaming at the top... is priceless. I laughed so hard. Parts of it were just so outrageous that you can't help but laugh. Especially because Arnold Schwarzenegger is in it and you know how his movies are.
A quick disclaimer: I usually don't watch movie after movie, but sometimes it is nice to do just that!
Cheers,
Hilary

Oh Hilary, and now I remember why I didn't get any homework done this weekend! We were too busy watching three movies in one night!! Well worth it though. I think the world would be a better place if everyone had a little bit more Arnold Schwartzenegger and Pauly Shores in their lives.
