I am a fan of Lee Daniels' Precious —which chronicles the ridiculously hellish life of a Harlem teen in 1988—for some reasons included here . But I'm also interested in the ongoing anti- Precious backlash , the most vitriolic contribution to which so far comes from the New York Press 's infamous contrarian Armond White : Shame on Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey for signing on as air-quote...

"Precious," the new drama from director Lee Daniels stirring up beaucoup Oscar buzz, has stirred up something else as well: controversy within the black community. That the picture would inspire some bickering is not all that surprising. It is, after all, the tale of an illiterate, obese black teenage girl who has two children, both by incest. Unflinching and unrelenting, it can be a difficult...

Here are two words we promise not to use in this review of "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire": monstrous and horrific. It isn't that those descriptions aren't appropriate. They are.

For Mariah Carey, who plays social worker Ms. Weiss, the role has reinvigorated her film career. Some have even speculated that she's in...

A third prominent African-American commentator (and the fourth overall as far as this column is concerned) has joined the Precious takedown campaign. The writer is Washington Post Metro columnist Courtland Milloy, who has trashed Lee Daniels' film with almost an Armond White-like vitriol. "In Precious, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have helped serve up a film of prurient interest that has about...

I suppose if I wanted a few people to actually read this I'd have something to say about "The Twilight Saga: New Moon," but beyond my thoroughly inappropriate crush on Anna Kendrick I really don't, so let's just move on.
