M&M: ‘Avatar’ Leads Weekend Fare

First of all, mainstream viewers are going to have a fairly easy choice between James Cameron’s “Avatar” and the romantic comedy “Did You Hear About the Morgans” ? So, CGI sci-fi adventure or lame middle-age comedy featuring “Sex in the City” leftovers and a more-stuttering-than-usual Hugh Grant. Oh joy. Fans of the more challenging independent scene may have the opportunity to see more quality work, but little of it will offer anything remotely light. “Precious” and “The Road” open at AMC’s River Park Square Theatres. “Precious” follows the story of a high-school girl who, aside from being a virtual slave to her mother (Mo’Nique), has been impregnated twice (!) by her stepfather. And “The Road” is an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s post-holocaust study, which pretty much guarantees that it will be one of the bleakest films of the year/ Dan Webster , Movies & More.
