Video: Mariah Carey movie clip from “Push”
No this isn’t the action/super-powers Push that just came out in theaters this past weekend. The Push that Mariah is in is a lot more serious and has the critics paying attention to her performance…in a good way. Movie premiered at Sundance and took home three awards including the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award.
Most important for Mariah, critics have been raving of her performance. At first I didn’t believe it either but this clip is actually pretty convincing that she has finally shed her Glitter ways. See for your self and let me know what you think. Via: Black Voices
Note: Some foul language up in this clip so turn your speakers down a little at work.
Movie is about a young girl in Harlem named Precious Jones struggling to overcome tremendous obstacles and discover her own voice. Verbally and sexually abused by her family, her troubles lead to problems in school. Precious has no friends, no money, two kids (from her father), and she’s illiterate but comes across a concerned social worker (Carey) and a nurse who show her incredible kindness.

Video: New trailer to Mariah Carey’s movie “Tennessee”
Tennessee has been on the indie circuit for awhile now, including screenings at various film festivals.

Mariah Carey set to star in new movie “Push”
According to New York’s Daily News, Mariah Carey has been cast in the upcoming movie Push, as a social worker from Harlem, looking after an HIV-positive woman impregnated twice by her father. Wow that’s messed up. Director Lee Daniels gave Carey the role after working with her in his earlier film Tennessee which hits theaters in December. Mariah’s role in Tennessee was met with mixed reviews but overall redeemed herself from the disaster only known as Glitter. Lee Daniels is best known for his work producing Monster’s Ball with Halle Berry and Diddy.
Carey will also work on the development of a movie musical based on her 1994 album Merry Christmas. The plot is set on a ruthless developer wanting to transform a small town into a gigantic mall.
“Mariah doesn’t want to let that happen,” Mariah’s old manager Benny Medina told the Daily News. “Her character uses song and love to keep the Christmas spirit alive.”
With High School Musical writer Peter Barschonni behind the script, Carey also talked about the importance of this project and its’ timing.
“Since I recorded the Christmas album, I’ve always wanted to make a movie to go with it, something that people could watch and hear and enjoy every year,” she told the Daily News. “I’m into it. I’m all about the holiday season.”
