Saturday Afternoon Movie and Dinner!
Posted by JDBorden on November 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Last Sunday at HG Jan mentioned a movie called “Precious” that many may never consider seeing. So I’m asking all to consider joining Jan in seeing this movie on Saturday. The plan is to meet at the Regal Potomac Yard Theater for the 3:45 showing; then heading some place for dinner and to talk about the movie. (The location for dinner is up in the air and all suggestions are welcome!)
“Precious” is about an overweight, illiterate African-American teen from Harlem who discovers an alternate path in life after she begins attending a new school. Clareece “Precious” Jones is only a teenager, yet she’s about to give birth to her second child. Unable to read or write, Clareece shows little prospect for the future until discovering that she has been accepted into an alternative school. There, with a little help from a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton) and a kindly nurse (Lenny Kravitiz), the young girl receives something that most teens never get — a chance to start over. “Precious” an inspirational drama!
