Not just another movie

I've been hearing the buzz about a movie based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire. The book, which I just read a couple of weeks ago, was good. I am anxious to see the film, which apparently won two of the highest honors at the Sundance Film Festival. Monique, the comedienne, plays a pretty frightening role in the movie and it seems that her performance also garnered an award at Sundance and is generating Oscar buzz for 2010. I hope that's the case. I love the grittiness of the book. I literally laughed out loud while reading some parts and wanted to throw the book against the wall at other parts. It takes a pretty talented writer to elicit such a range of reaction and emotion from the reader. The movie buzz is what made me read the book and I hope the film proves to be as worthy of my praise as the book did.
