"Distict 9" 8/10
Sad and frustrating story. Great sci-fi. Once again human kind is portraited as selfish and evil. And african people as utterly insane. :D

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire (2009)
Wasn't crazy about it. Doesn't really give you much reason to care about the main character beyond the fact that she has a shitty life. Her situation is powerfully portrayed through strong acting and solid direction, but the fact is that Precious just isn't a very likable character. Not all movies have to make you like the main character, but for something like this to work you should be able to feel something for her...maybe it's just because I'm from the absolute wrong demographic, but I really couldn't care much at all. It's not really a bad movie, just not as good as the hype machine wants you to think. It's well made and showcases some strong performances - I don't think she deserves to win, but Mo'Nique will be getting a well deserved Oscar nomination for her role as the abusive mother - but overall it fell pretty flat for me.
