Movie Night


Amy & I started a Monthly Movie Night. Last night was our inagural night! We saw Precious. This movie was intense & definitely not the usual type of movie I watch. But, what a story.

This is a movie based on a novel about a young 16 yr old girl growing up in Harlem. She has endured neglect, abuse, rape, incest, and illness. Her life starts to turn around when she starts going to an alternative school & realizing that she can change her life. This definitely is not a 'feel good' story or one that ends with a happy ending where everything is perfect.

This is a movie to show everyone what goes on outside of our own little worlds. Its a movie that will make you say, Man -I have it easy.
