Black Snake Moan

Black Snake Moan is a movie that tries to have it both ways, It tries to send a good message about one man helping a woman turn her life around, when he at the same time is as bad as she is. Solid direction and acting are destroyed by a bad story, pour writing and overlength. Christina Ricci is good, but Samuel L. Jackson fails to deliver. Overall though, They deserve credit for choosing such risky roles as these. Justin Timberlake once again fails to give a good performance, His streak still continues. This film marks Craig Brewers first misfire after the outstanding HUSTLE AND FLOW.

Justin Timberlake surprised me again like he did in “Alpha Dog.” Just when I thought ...

dont let the cover fool you.

People, do not be fooled by the DVD cover. This is not just a movie about sex, solely so people can see Christina Ricci prance around half naked, chained to a radiator. It's actually more than it seems. Christina Ricci plays Rae, a girl in the deep south of Mississippi, who, resulting from being sexually abused as a child, is a nymphomaniac. After her boyfriend (played surprisingly well by Justin Timberlake), leaves to go into the Army, she gets a little out of control, and ends up beaten and drugged on the side of the road. Lazarus, a religious, former bluesman, whose wife had just lef thim, (Samuel L Jackson) finds her, takes her home, takes care of her, and yes, chains her up to a radiator to control her. Rae's boyfriend, eventually comes home without warning after being discharged fro...
