Black Snake Moan is not a sexploitation film..

[George Bellefontaine]

It seems to have been marketed that way, and yes, throughout most of the film a black man has a white girl on a chain and there are some strong sexual scenes. But those , who can overlook the marketing hype and watch the film for what it is ( a black man in mid-life crisis finds consolation by providing direction to a messed up young white girl ), will truly be amazed by the performances of Samuel L Jackson ( his best IMHO ) Christina Ricci and, surprisingly, Justin Timberlake. And most of all, you will love the music: down home southern blues at its best.

Forget the hype, but put the kids to bed before you watch it.

A big :T from me.

I agree fully great flick. The HD-DVD looked fantastic as well.

That's one I intend to rent today or tomorrow, George. Been wanting to see it since it was at the theaters.

Saw it today, George, and, like DSGCobra, thought it was a very fine film. How much weight has Ricci lost? In any regard, both she and Samuel had absolutely great acting moments. The thing I appreciated most was that the picture ended up with things unresolved. I kept being afraid that they'd end it with a shooting or something and that wouldn't have fit...at least for me.

...will truly be amazed by the performances of... and, surprisingly, Justin Timberlake.

As much as I hate boy bands I will say Timberlake is a talented individual. His stints on Saturday Night Live have been some of the best by a host in recent memory. I did not know he was in the movie and look even more forward to it.

I was going to put that in my post but didnt know if anyone would get it. Just thinking about the bit gets me busted up. That is some funny stuff!

Very good movie...

Great soundtrack...even more impressed with Samuel L...since he really sang several of the tunes.

Total suprise...

Alot of fun....this movie came out of left field. I think the trailer failed. I'm not sure how it did at the box office, but I remember not knowing what too think. I really was gald I took the time to watch it.
