Dana Stevens asks if she's a bad person for hating "Precious".

No . .. not a bad person, just a bad movie reviewer. You dismiss Precious tritely as "Poverty Porn"

Dana - remember 2008? How you hated "Slumdog Millionaire", and dissed it, calling it "Hokum" (right in the title of your review)? It went on to win best picture

Let's be unkind and rewind, to 2007. You couldn't say enough bad stuff about "No country for old men". And IT went on to win best picture too. Javier Bardem gave a performance for the ages.

So far this year you're on track to make a fool of yourself again, having pronounced the Coen brothers "Extract" some sort of masterpiece. Oh, and the cartoon "UP", too. You have a soft spot for cartoons, even when they're mediocre.

How do other sites feel about "Precious"? The consensus at Rotten Tomatoes is 87%. They're not infallible, but over the years they have been waaaaaaaay less fallible than you, Dana.

Dana - you're not a bad person. Just an awful reviewer, with the inability to recognize great acting or writing.

They probably have film appreciation classes at your local commuity college, if you want to up your game a little . . . just a thought.
