Precioushas been on the festival circuit, getting rave reviews with some strong backers: Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. The movie opens with a limited release November 6, 2009. Precious is a strong, emotional film about survival and truth. Yet, I don’t know if I could sit through this film as entertainment. That is usually why I go to the movies, I want to escape for two hours and not worry about the problems of society. What do you think?

Today we see a lot of famous personalities and popular celebrities doing their share of promoting eco-friendliness and going green. If you ask around, the list can go on and on. But apparently there are two people who have stood out above the rest. Their names? Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey.
DiCaprio beat off male counterparts Bono, Brad Pitt and actor Ed Begley Jr. to top the male category in the survey, which was carried out by GreenDaily.com and Bebo.com, to mark Earth Day today.
Winfrey out-shined Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills to lead the female category.
Meanwhile, Mariah Carey was ruled to be the least environmentally friendly star, following reports she regularly flies her personal trainer from the Caribbean to New York to keep her fit.
John Travolta joined her on the hit list, after research found the qualified pilot generates 800 tons of carbon emissions each year flying around the world.

Edgar’s father comes back as a ghost to tell him that his uncle killed him. Antagonized by the revelation, Edgar tries to kill his uncle, but mistakenly kills the dog’s vet, which sends the youth fleeing into the woods with three of his dogs.
