Like many others, this reporter went searching on Yahoo movies for Precious movie theater showings -- all set to text a friend to grab a showing of Precious the movie opening this weekend, Friday, November 6, 2009.

Lo and behold, however, the Precious movie does open in some movie theaters in a limited release today, Friday, November 6, 2009 -- if you're in cities like Chicago, for example, where there are tons of Precious movie showings at the Chatham 14 near 87th and the "Dan Ryan" -- no longer the "damn Ryan" after construction beautified it, heh?

But folks around the Cleveland-Akron, Ohio, area have to wait till Friday, November 20, 2009, to check out the Precious movie -- which doesn't hit the Valley View theater (love driving over that beautiful bridge on the way to church) two weeks from today, says Yahoo (just change the zip code to your own).

Folks in the Hollywood/Los Angeles,California, area have plenty of options to go see Precious today in a number of fabulous-sounding movie theaters, while people in the Sugar Land-Houston, Texas, area look like they have to wait till November 12 and 13th to check out the movie that's garnered so much Oscar buzz.

It's the same deal experienced with Chris Rock's "Good Hair" movie, which opened in limited release recently -- and as soon as I found it showing in a movie theater a few miles from me, I jumped at the chance of seeing.

Here's hoping for continued wide release of the reportedly fine film that has folks warning Mo'Nique to call a designer and get her Academy Award dress lined up.
