...If you have been keeping up with the Cannes buzz then you should have heard of Precious by now. Brought to us by Oprah and Tyler Perry, the Lee Daniels film is centered around a 16-year-old girl named Claireece "Precious" Jones who has lived a life of abuse and neglect. Overweight, a victim of rape, lack of education and seeming to have all obstacles against her, she gets accepted to alternative school which seemingly opens up her world. Check out the trailer (I see you Xosha! :p)...
It looks DOPE. Well written and well supported by a diverse cast. You all know I'm not one for believing critics, but the film is already racking up acclaim and accolades across the boards and from the looks of the trailer and feedback from early screeners, I think it might live up to the buzz. Be sure to check it out when it comes out later this fall (around November). I know I know, eons away right? But we have to support great work these days so Slumdog's aren't few and far between.
Also if you haven't yet, be sure to check out America Violet in theaters now!

- I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

good lookin! I've been waiting for this film FOREVER! I think it'll do really well when it hits theaters, but I do have a question, why didn't they let Mariah get a tan or something? she's lookin a hot one!
How deep... it looks pretty real to life as well. Was that Mariah with a feather flip bang? Man... Tyler is really pushing the edge. I love it!
