While Valentine's Day was entertaining and funny at times, it lacked any real spark and was a little slow. The movie managed to make me not mind some of the actors I usually hate (like Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, and Jessica Biel), but after sitting on it a few days, I realized that there was nothing much memorable about it, and I couldn't even remember any of the funny lines. I was caught off guard by some of the twists, but overall, it's not a great sign when the funniest actor in it is George Lopez, the most charming person is Ashton Kutcher, and the cutest character is a 9 year old boy. Plus, Anne Hathaway made me want to walk out of the movie theater. And poor Taylor Swift. She tried so hard, but failed miserably. All in all, it was no Love, Actually, although I think that's what it was going for.
Precious was THE saddest movie I have ever seen. I cried atleast once, but was holding back tears pretty much the whole time. While the movie was nowhere near uplifting (even at the end), it was a great film all around, from direction, to writing, to acting. The directing was a little different but worked great with the movie. I like the directors style. And the acting was fantastic. Mo'Nique really does deserve to win an Oscar! WOW! She was so wretched and vile...I wanted to smack her character, which is a true sign of a job well done. And I love the leading actress, Gabourey Sidibe; she did phenomenal in her first role. And the actress herself is so cute, funny, and charming. I've seen her in several interviews and she's always so happy and smiling. She deserves all the praise she's been getting. And we can't forget...You Go Mariah Carey! I love you all plain and acting. Great job!
Thus...I say go see Precious before the Oscars so you can appreciate it if either actress wins, and save Valentine's Day until it comes out on DVD and you can hunt down a Red Box.
