2012 and Precious

Posted on November 8, 2009 at 1:19 pm

The movies opening this week at first seem to have very little in common. “2012” is a big-budget, chases-and-explosions film with an apocalyptic setting. “Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire” is a small, intimate story of a hideously abused teenager. But both are in their way spiritual stories of hope, courage, sacrifice, and the determination to survive.
Look for my reviews on Friday.
