Monster's Ball 387 reviews Billy Bob Thornton, Taylor Simpson
Lions Gate, 2002
Racial, sexual tension
+ An utterly depressing, but truly unforgettable movie
The recent untimely death of actor Heath Ledger prompted me to take a look at the films in which he has appeared. That search led me to "Monster's Ball"....an early Ledger film from 2001. It's a tour de force with Halle Berry leading an excellent cast. Though Ledger appears relatively briefly, his ...

Capote 280 reviews Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener
Sony Pictures, 2006
INFAMOUS
+ Intriguing and Difficult Character Study + Capote
276 Amazon customer reviews as of now for "Capote" and only 61 for "Infamous"... Have you heard of "the other movie"?
"Capote" came out in '05 and "Infamous", right behind it, in '06. That's been at the expense of "Infamous" and more importantly of the public- because "Infamous" is the better ...

Mr. Death: The Rise & Fall of Fred A. Leuchter Jr. 39 reviews Jeff Brown, David Collins (III)

Fred Leuchter is vain and pathetic. He can easily be imagined jury-rigging the toaster to electrocute the family pet. He is Cree-pee, with a capital "C". Leuchter, the son of a Massachusetts prison employee-on "Take the Kids to Work Day", his father let him sit in the electric chair-invented the ...

It just starts - no throat-clearing, no overture, no vamping-until-ready. Coming from a writer who had made his reputation slamming doors and banging about the house, leaving the television on in one sentence while simultaneously yelling abuse at the radio and bashing out power chords in another, ...
