Watched Monster’s Ball on Friday night, and I don’t know why Halle Berry won an Oscar for her role in this movie. The movie tried really hard, with all its symbolism and deep issues, but I didn’t enjoy it all that much. The characters shift dramatically, and the transitions are jarring. Skip it.
Oh, and someone let the original movie website lapse, so monstersballthefilm.com is now just a link farm. Wouldn’t you keep paying the $10-20/year just to sell the DVDs?
