Precious

Gabourey Sidibe (Precious)

Mo'Nique (Mary)

Paula Patton (Ms. Rain)

Mariah Carey (Mrs. Weiss)

Setting: New York City

I wanted to see "The Blind Side",but when I got to the theater the performance was canceled. So I went and saw "Precious" instead. It's about a teenage girl (Gabourey Sidibe) in New York City. Horribly abused by her mother (Mo'Nique) ,and pregnant by her father, she gets help at a local A.B.E. (Adult Basic Education) center. Little by little, with the help of teacher, Blu Rain (Paula Patton), she comes out of her shell. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. The End.

Pirate Radio

Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Count)

Bill Nighy (Quentin)

Kenneth Branagh (Sir Alistair Dormandy)

Setting: 1960's -- off the coast of England

During the 1960s, Britain controlled the radio waves. Rock 'n roll was banned. A few enterprising individuals headed out into international waters and had what were known as pirate radio stations. They played rock 'n roll. This is the story of one of them. I gave it an extra point for the music. So I would rate it as 4 out of 5 stars. The End.

Jamie Foxx (Nick Rice)
Gerard Butler (Clyde Shelton)

Setting: Present Day Philadelphia

He gets one of the killers the death penalty, but the other one gets only 10 years. So Clyde Shelton plots his revenge. After the 10 years has passed, he gets busy! He first goes after the killers, and then goes after the District Attorneys Office. Rated "R" for violence, it is the tales of Clyde Shelton's revenge. I would rate it as 4 out of 5 stars.The End.
