Glitter(2001)Hello, my name is JAS and I am a glutton for punishment. I know people that love bad movies and I mean some terrible films, but none have seen “Glitter”. Seriously, I have yet to meet one person that has watched this film. People have watched “Gigli,” but none have seen this. So I set off on my journey and see if I can survive…
The film starts off with a fantastic example of solid motherhood as a drunk singer does her thing on stage with her under aged daughter drinking water at the bar. Then she invites her up to sing a little ditty in front of a bunch of drunkards. A few minutes after this I start to realize that the movie is boring me. Then because of lack of stimuli I notice that I am 6 minutes and 41 seconds into the film and there are still credits being displayed. What's better is that every full minute you get one more person that worked on this movie. 7:16, 8:34 and finally ending at the ten minute mark. Why spread it out? Makes no sense, but it was amusing, so I'm thankful for bad choices.

"Precious" (2009)
“Precious” details struggles of a young black girl whose family includes an incestuous child molester of a father and “Mother of the Year." The title character doesn’t seem to be trying to find her way in life and escapes by imagining she is famous in some alternate reality and that everyone loves her. The story moves at an odd pace and at times feels like a 90-minute run-on sentence. Precious’s motivations are never clear and she seems to be content following the flow of her utterly unhappy life. The story hints that we're supposed to believe she's a caring person who wants to be a good mother, but she's barely trying – and we don't find it easy to sympathize. |
