Edward [Robert Pattinson] decides it is best for Bella [Kristen Stewart] that he and his family leave. This sends Bella into a state of overall depression (which to be honest is hard to tell apart from what I assume was true happiness that she was feeling for the first fifteen to twenty minutes of the movie when Edward was around).

The buzz around the new film “
Precious” has been building since its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Screened under its original title “Push” (but later changed to “Precious” to avoid confusion with the sci-fi clunker of the same name), the film went on to capture the hearts of festival goers and critics alike, amassing two of the festival’s top jury prizes.

Precious [Gabourey Sidibe] is an overweight illiterate teen living in Harlem in the late 1980s. She’s pregnant for the second time with her father’s child and still living with her abusive mother, Mary [Mo’Nique]. After being kicked out of her school, for basically being too much for them to handle, she’s sent to a special needs school called Each One Teach One and put in Ms. Blue Rain’s [Paula Patton] classroom in an effort to educate herself and try to catch up with the rest of the world and help lift herself out of this situation she’s currently living.

To hear comedian
Chris Rock explain it, the delicate nature of African-American women and their hair is something that isn’t shared lightly. There are trade secrets, strategies and chemical products that go into creating what can either be seen on the street as a work of art or a follicle disaster. His new documentary “

James Toback has had a reputation as a difficult interview subject long before I met him for the first time at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. At the time he was there to promote his latest theatrical release “Tyson” and the man was as gracious as can be, the complete opposite of the stories journalists had warned me about. After witnessing Toback’s honest and unflinching nature firsthand, I embraced it but understood why others might not. He is a straightforward individual who is not afraid to speak his mind and burn bridges if necessary.
