New Movies Worth Seeing

I am looking forward to these new movies. The information is quoted from several sources.

Daddy’s Little Girls
( releases 2/14)
A single father, Monty, is a garage mechanic who lives in a poor neighborhood and struggles to make ends meet as he raises his three young daughters on his own. But when the courts award custody of his daughters to his corrupt, drug-dealing ex-wife, Monty desperately tries to win them back, enlisting the help of Julia, a beautiful--and hard-nosed--attorney he meets during his short stint as a chauffeur. While Monty and the Ivy-League-educated Julia couldn't be less alike, an unexpected romance blossoms--and it soon begins to feel like true love. But in order for their relationship to survive, the couple must reconcile their two very different worlds--and overcome the forces that threaten to tear Monty's family apart. A Tyler Perry movie. - daddyslittlegirlsmovie.com

(Glen & I are Tyler Perry fans. He is masterful at sharing a story about experiences different from our own in a humorous and touching, authentic way.)

Amazing Grace (releases 2/23)
William Wilberforce led efforts as a member of Parliament in 18th-century England to end slavery and the slave trade in the British empire. Wilberforce was elected to the House of Commons at 21 and took on the issue of slavery, successfully assembling a diverse coalition that went up against the most powerful men of the time. - Yahoo Movies

AMAZING GRACE reflects the no-nonsense storytelling skills of prolific helmer Michael Apted, whose career-long mix of feature and documentary work holds him in good stead once more. - edited from an article by Eddie Cockrell, Variety.com


The Ultimate Gift (releases 3/9)
Jason Stevens lives a life of wealth and privilege. When his grandfather dies, Jason expects to receive a hefty inheritance. Instead, however, Jason must set out on a journey of self-discovery to earn the true gift his grandfather meant for him to have. Along the way, Jason befriends a dying girl and her mother and learns what is really important in life. Based on the book The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall. Produced by David Ross -- movies.excite.com
