Precious Movie Review

Any work of art, film, or music that provokes deeper awareness of our differences and similarities, can make a dent in the usual lack of dialogue.

There was no better action film this year than Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker. By far the best Iraq war movie to date, it follows an elite team of soldiers whose sole job is to diffuse IED's on the streets of Baghdad.

Precious is one of the best films I've seen in a long time, and one of the few in mainstream theaters that dares deal with the legacy that slavery created.
