I have always been stubborn about not wanting to watch "Black Snake Moan" . There was something about the way the movie poster looked and/or the way the preview made it see. Now don't get me wrong I am not a prude but there was just something about seeing Christina Ricci's gross skeleton barley wrapped in some hillbilly trailer trash clothing and Samuel L Jackson standing over her that both disgusted and on a very deep hidden level intrigued me as well. Well today I decided to reach into myself and dig that later part out. So I sat down and watched "Black Snake Moan". I actually liked it! I mean I really did. The Father/daughter like dynamic from Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci was very heartwarming but not in that crappy lifetime movie of the week way. Justin Timberlake's Performance was great and Overall it just had a nitty gritty down south redemption feel that I am pretty sure it was going for. I really shouldn't try and be to prejudice about movie posters..I have seen how wrong I can be about the movies.

ReplyDeleteIt really is a fantastic movie. I saw it by myself as a 36th birthday present to myself and thought it was pretty amazing.
Here's my thoughts from the time. I may re-read them myself.
