The unflinching realism and searing performances of Monster's Ball are stunning in all the connotations of the word. Hank (Billy Bob Thornton) and Leticia (Halle Berry) inhabit stark, queasy realities of the contemporary South, he as a death row corrections officer and she as the soon-to-be widow of an inmate (Sean Combs) whose execution Hank helps conduct. In the aftermath of the execution, both lose their children to tragic deaths and they form an unlikely bond. In the hands of lesser participants, the fateful plot might strain credibility and seem tailored to allow for liberal sermonizing about the obvious wrongs of our legal justice system, but director Marc Forster and cinematographer Roberto Schaefer balance the contentious nature of the film's issues--the death penalty, racism both overt and subtle, interracial couples--with a flawless attention to character and visual detail that completely convinces. The moral ambiguity of both central characters is given full voice as our sympathy is drawn out reluctantly at first but all the more resolutely in the end. Thornton draws from seemingly limitless resources to deliver yet another outstanding performance, but it is Halle Berry who is a revelation as she sustains throughout the complex tenor of brutality witnessed and raw courage defined. --Fionn Meade

Halle Berry at her best!.......2007-06-26

I saw "Monster's Ball" in the movie theatre. I felt then that it was a good movie, but the key reason I even went to see it in theatres is because Halle Berry, one of my all-time favorite actresses, was starring in it. I have seen most of Halle's movies, and I can attest to the fact that this is, acting-wise, her best film. Halle is an outstanding actress, but I have never really seen her give her all, until now. Halle really went all out for this movie, and she deserved the Oscar. Although I don't think it's fair that so many African-American actresses before Halle have done phenomenal jobs in movies and never received an Oscar, but Halle shined in this film and that Oscar had her name on it as far as I'm concerned. The ranting and raving about Halle had to be foremost, however, the entire cast did a great job. Billy Bob Thornton, Heath Ledger, Mos Def, and Diddy all showed their acting abilities, and I was impressed.

This was not an easy film to watch. It didn't have a Hollywood ending or cheesy subject matter. The film shows us three generations of corrections officers, a grandfather, a father, and a son. The father and grandfather both have prejudiced mindsets, however the son doesn't. We learn that the father (Hank) doesn't love his son, and his son does an unlikely thing to show how upset he is about that, commits suicide in front of his father.

We meet Leticia and her son Tyrell. Leticia's husband is given the death penalty, and she's naturally on-edge. She attempts to relax her nerves by smoking, drinking and lashing out at her obese progeny. As the movie progresses, Tyrell is tragically killed in a hit and run. From what the movie implies, all Leticia had was her son. She was never seen with parents or friends. After her husband and son die, she's all alone in life, until she meets Hank. Hank sees Leticia and her dying son on the side of the road and decide to stop and offer aid to them. He rushes them to the hospital, and from there, the two of them build a friendship, and then a relationship.

Hank and Leticia both feel vulnerable because of the unfortunate occurrences they both lived. Their relationship, from the outside looking in, resembles two people who are yearning for a happiness they'd seemingly never come across and hoped to find in one another.

The irony of Hank and Leticia's relationship is that Hank was one of the correction's officers who helped kill Leticia's husband, but she is oblivious to this.

This motion picture will totally lure you into it's painful plot. Other reviews that I've read on this movie said that it was boring, and perhaps to some, it is; but if you give this movie your undivided attention from start to finish, there is hardly a boring moment in my opinion.

I DO NOT recommend this picture for the faint of heart. It includes some of the most graphic scenes cinema has ever seen, and some of them are not easy to stomach. Also, that oh so popular sex scene...very candid and graphic. However, if you can handle it, by all means take a look at this heart-wrenching film.

Oh, come now...........2007-06-13

This is one of the most over-rated movies I've ever seen. It is too contrived in plot and too manipulative, particularly with respect to the sex scene between Thornton and Berry. Consider the following:

Billy Bob Thornton plays a racist prison guard who takes a sort of military pride in the structured electrocution of condemned prisoners. His son, a non-racist guard under him, is not up to the same standard. A condemned prisoner, the husband of the woman played by Halle Berry, is put to death.

Through a convoluted set of circimstances, Thornton takes up with Ms.Berry, after Thornton's son commits suicide and Berry's overweight son is killed in a car accident. Neither knows of their connection to the electrocuted prisoner until the end of the movie. The device used to reveal the connection should be obvious to any viewer Are you following this?

For some reason (perhaps the fact that Halle Berry is drop dead gorgeous) Thornton gives up his racism and has an extremely steamy sex scene with the beauteous widow. Well, that's understandable, but the fact that she is magnificent to look upon is grossly manipulative. Would Thornton have been so solicitous of her if she had been an average looking African American woman? I doubt it. Beauty trumps racism.

Several movies have been made, through the years, about a racist white becoming liberalized by association with an African American, and in virtually every case the device for attaining this has been so contrived as to make a viewer groan. In one case a blind white girl falls in love with a very nice black man. In another case, a racist white is chained to a black man and they have to cooperate to escape pursuers. In yet another, a white girl brings a black man home to meet her upper class parents--but the black man is a handsome Ivy League surgeon. Sidney Poitier, a fine actor, was in all of these.

In all of these, including Monster's Ball, the devices are just too heavy handed and obvious. The acting in Monster's Ball is OK, but the story is the problem. For example, I never believed for a second that the Halle Berry character would have said, "Make me feel good" and seduced Thornton. Why? I don't object to sexy scenes, per se. I object when sex scenes are included to titilate the viewer, and that was exactly the case in Monster's Ball.

holly berry, is the main atration.......2007-06-08

seeing Holly in action is cool . Billy bob is p[retty good Too.

best part of the movie was Halle Berry.......2007-03-09

This movie was boring, it was like one of those sundance films, interesting enough to watch once, then put it away forever. The best part of the movie was Halle Berry's sex scene's they were brief, and tastfully done, however if it wasn't for her I never would have watched it. If I ever watch it again, it will be to get my Halle Berry fix......Keith

You Get What You Need.......2006-11-30

This is a different sort of movie; a sort of mixture of "Affliction", "The Green Mile" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". The characters are difficult to warm up to which may have been the writer and director's point. We get plenty of love stories that lead us down the primerose path. What about a love story about two people who never should have been associated with each other. Two people whose stars not only didn't cross, they were magnetically repelled from ever even nearing each other. This is what "Monster's Ball" is to me. In that sense, it is an interesting movie.

The characters are rather extreme but, then, that's in keeping with the extreme nature of the message. Still, it's hard not to be put off a bit because of how disfuctional the main characters are. By the mid-point of the movie, we know who we DON'T like and the rest of the movie tries to salvage two out of those three. This change of direction would seem impossible except for the introduction of exteme crises that alter the lives of the people we are reluctant to care about. We reach the end of the movie shaking our heads but relizing that, in some perverse way, there's someone for everyone. I'm reminded of the Rolling Stones's song with the lyrics "You can't always get what you want but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need." Not inspiring but a reminder that even scoundrels need someone to hold onto from time to time. I found that the premise worked well enough for me.

The Mummy: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

ASIN: B00000JQB5
Release Date: 1999-09-28

Amazon.com

If you're expecting bandaged-wrapped corpses and a lurching Boris Karloff-type villain, then you've come to the wrong movie. But if outrageous effects, a hunky hero, and some hearty laughs are what you're looking for, the 1999 version of The Mummy is spectacularly good fun. Yes, the critics called it "hokey," "cheesy," and "pallid." Well, the critics are unjust. Granted, the plot tends to stray, the acting is a bit of a stretch, and the characters occasionally slip into cliché, but who cares? When that action gets going, hold tight--those two hours just fly by.

The premise of the movie isn't that far off from the original. Egyptologist and general mess Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) discovers a map to the lost city of Hamunaptra, and so she hires rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) to lead her there. Once there, Evelyn accidentally unlocks the tomb of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a man who had been buried alive a couple of millennia ago with flesh-eating bugs as punishment for sleeping with the pharaoh's girlfriend. The ancient mummy is revived, and he is determined to bring his old love back to life, which of course means much mayhem (including the unleashing of the 10 plagues) and human sacrifice. Despite the rather gory premise, this movie is fairly tame in terms of violence; most of the magic and surprise come from the special effects, which are glorious to watch, although Imhotep, before being fully reconstituted, is, as one explorer puts it, rather "juicy." Keep in mind this film is as much comedy as it is adventure--those looking for a straightforward horror pic will be disappointed. But for those who want good old-fashioned eye-candy kind of fun, The Mummy ranks as one of choicest flicks of 1999. --Jenny Brown

Absolutely Phenomenal On HD DVD.......2007-06-28

Everyone knows the plot of the movie and that it was based on the 1940s film, "The Mummy's Hand," so what I'm going to talk about is the HD DVD transfer.

I got my HD DVD player last year and have been thoroughly stoked about it, given the right movie. "The Mummy" is definitely one of those right movies. From the opening credits to the first views of the Egyptian city, the clarity of the high-def presentation rivals that of your local theater. Once a wall-sized monitor becomes available, film buffs are truly going to be able to have the theater experience right in their own homes.

The action sequences are great. The colors are fantastic. And the special effects are tremendous. The dust cloud confrontation at the end just blew me away all over again.

I owned the movie on DVD and had watched it on television a few times (it's one of those on a list of guilty pleasures) but I hadn't seen anything like this presentation outside of the theater.

Now I gotta get "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King." And I can't wait for "The Mummy 3" coming in 2008!

The Mummy Comes to life again .......2007-05-29

Not as startling as some of the more recent HD transfers. Don't get me wrong it is very good. Bringing life backing to old family favorite. The colors and sound were the most noticeable, mind you the high quality picture was not to be out done either. It was like watching a new movie. Well not quite. But there were a bunch of little things and scenes that went unnoticed before that are front and center in this edition because of the improved sound and picture.

One thing I never noticed before is right after Imhotep's casket fell through the tomb ceiling there is a line through the center of the picture, it disappeared in less than a minute. I doubt this is fault to do with the HD transfer so it was probably on the original print.

One weird thing was the menu. All of the other HD DVDs have graphics from the movie, this one had generic music and the universal logo.

Great Picture. Great Sound. Worth having on HD. Over all 4/5. Bring on Jurassic Park!

Exciting Adventure!.......2007-04-28

An exciting action packed movie with lots of surprises in store for the viewer! There is an abundance of crazy adventures with some romance and comedy thrown in! Pretty much a good movie for all ages and is sure to keep the attention of almost anyone. Set in 1923, a group of archeologists stumble upon a tomb at Hamunaptra, the city of the dead. The main characters of the movie, Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evie (Rachel Weisz) uncover the mummy of Imhotep, Pharoah Seti's priest and one-time lover of Seti's mistress. Imhotep was cursed and when he gets woken up the results are fatal.

the mummy returns.......2007-03-31

I have enjoyed this movie so much that I also bough it in DVD. It is very entertaining and not a dull moment in the film. Keeps you on your toes with anticipation.

The Mummy.......2007-03-20

Great heroes, great villains, awesome effects. Arnold Vosloo shines, as he has to convey all his thoughts via a foreign language. Great body language, clearly he has the hardest job of all the cast and he pulls it off.

For those who never thought Disney would release a film in which Santa Claus is kidnapped and tortured, well, here it is! The full title is Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, which should give you an idea of the tone of this stop-action animated musical/fantasy/horror/comedy. It is based on characters created by Burton, the former Disney animator best known as the director of Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and the first two Batman movies. His benignly scary-funny sensibility dominates the story of Halloweentown resident Jack Skellington (voice by Danny Elfman, who also wrote the songs), who stumbles on a bizarre and fascinating alternative universe called ... Christmastown! Directed by Henry Selick (who later made the delightful James and the Giant Peach), this PG-rated picture has a reassuringly light touch. As Roger Ebert noted in his review, "some of the Halloween creatures might be a tad scary for smaller children, but this is the kind of movie older kids will eat up; it has the kind of offbeat, subversive energy that tells them wonderful things are likely to happen." --Jim Emerson

Customer Reviews:

Still blows me away.......2007-05-28

Burton's dark love story will still take your breath away. The Nightmare before Christmas has a cult following, and it's no suprise why. The story is a most incredible, and creative story, with great music.
Kids will love it, but adults even more. I think this movie is 100 years before it's time. It's something you could only expect from Burton and it will still leave you enamored.

We see only what we are trained to see.......2007-05-12

This is comment on the movie and not on the DVD product

Indeed this is treasure that can be viewed from many angles, and I leave the cinema forum discussion open..

My view on the excellent art: Jack- the maestro extraordinaire of Halloween- in his maximum competence level- has found no longer "zest" in his own creation and admiration of his Halloween peers- similar to a mid-life crisis - he undergoes a minor depression looking for that change of pace.

Wandering far and apart, the finds it by having a rare access to Christmas town- a community that same as holloweenland spend s all its time and energies in preparing for the date .. and now, comes the decoding part of the story, how does a Halloween character interpret x-mas? You guess it, a no brainer here.. X-mas has that Halloween taste.. Yet everyone is so excited nobody can notice it... now you can see how to use this movie for conflict issues... Jack also elevates to his maximum incompetence state (to put it into Dr. Peter's celebrated theory) by hijacking Santa in x-mas night... fortunately reality kicks back to reestablish balance and .. Well see it

I thought I did not need any explaining on how to use this movie for conflict issues, so let's begin with the simple things as I would with my teenage son

- Discovery of America by the Europeans- Columbus could not even accept the possibility of a new world, this was India and the natives sure looked like Indians., in turn, when they saw the horses, what could they think of such wonderful beast, what names can they be given?... Venezuela was named because the Spanish saw some villages made over the waters of a lake, and they related to Venice..

I could go on with Freud's theories of the psyche, etc but I am tired

GREAT DVD AND MOVIE ....BUT.......2007-03-31

This movie is a visual treat! Tim Burton can certainly come up with all the visual elements in a film,but he lacks in his story telling sometimes and the music in this film is mediocre at best. Please don't get me wrong, I love this movie, but it is not without it's flaws. The music is boring and drags sometimes unlike in "James and the Giant Peach" which the songs are very good. James is so much more entertaining on a story level too. Nightmare is a beautiful looking film and has great characters, it just doesn't quite live up to the cult status it has achieved.

No.......2007-03-20

This movie. My responce; huh? This may be the most creepy thing ever. I watched it, and I didn't really feel like I had just watched a movie. It felt like I had just been stupified in front of a whole lot of people. Was I supposed to get that? I was thinking about watching it with my daughter, but I'm glad I decided not to. She is still a young girl of and ACADEMIC (hint, hint) mind set. I will always be happy to watch a movie with her, but not one that is this stupid.

are you kidding...me?.......2007-02-26

you could serve this movie headless and on a silver platter,
and I will still give it a five.

in fact, it would probably be even funnier that way.

DVDs are huge though; they could have included language tracks from Japanese while they were at it.
ever heard Jack sing 'What's This?' in Japanese? Hilarious.
