Movie Precious ain't so Precious By Cassandra George Sturges, MA, MA, Psy.D Media critics have hyped the performances of Mo'Nique and Gabourey Sidbe as Academy Award winning performances, but I thought that the performances were standard and overall, I gave the movie Precious a letter grade of C+.

Even though Joe Louis Walker has been receiving critical acclaim for his tough and original blues for years, I think he's been an under-appreciated force in the music for way too long. His latest CD, another of those mid-year Stony Plain releases that I'm just getting caught up on, is titled "Between a Rock and the Blues," and that's a pretty good description of where his music is located....
