Precious

Has anyone seen this? I saw it yesterday and I wept buckets. It's not an easy watch to say the least but I would urge you to give it a go. The leading lady is way beyond excellent. It has Mariah Carey in it too (Mariah who "doesn't do stairs") and, guess what, she's excellent. Who knew? So there's yet another lesson learned not to pre-judge.

Whenever things are bad for Precious she goes to her her little inner fantasy world and it was a moving reminder that we all have hopes and dreams and we all aspire to a better life.

You may be right Jeremy but it comes down to how you define cheesy. Me, I cringe at the ubiquitous Hollywood happy ending because it rarely happens like that in real life so it leaves me cold when I see it on the screen. What doesn't ever make me cringe is when the human spirit rises against all the odds and fights for a better life. That's what I saw happen in Precious. I'm the first to admit that that's a very "Oprah" thing - but it just happens to be my own sensibility. I really can see how someone might see that as cheesy though.

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
