Precious (2009)

Precious tells the story of a 16-year-old girl who happens to be obese, illiterate and pregnant for the second time. She seems to be good at math, but this doesn’t seem to stop the principal of her school from kicking her out and letting her enroll for alternative schooling, where she meets other problem girls as well as Ms. Rain.

Priest (2011)

If you’re an action junkie, you might just love Priest, but I have a feeling that will be a stretch even for some of the most dedicated fans. Not even divine intervention could save this Priest from the terrible fate of a badly written screenplay and mediocre acting.

Princess and the Frog, The

The Princess and the Frog, Disney’s return to classic 2D animation, takes on the well-known story of the princess who kisses the frog, who in turn magically transforms back into a prince… and gives it a little spin. And it’s obvious that the princess, who isn’t really a princess, turns into a frog instead.

Prometheus (2012)

Prometheus, the long dormant project in the Alien franchise, finally came to pass. Although not exactly an Alien movie, it does happen in the same universe. That said, Prometheus stands well on its own.

Public Enemies

Public Enemies is a movie about the image in front of the man that was John Dillenger. It is fact-based but far from the truth because so much of it is dramatized and fictionalized for our collective entertainment. It zeros in on the mythical qualities of a depression era bank robbing outlaw during the later stages of his storied and sensationalized career.
