Monster's Ball Reviews:

"...Thornton displays a remarkable gift for understatement....Thornton brings a gentleness to the part that acts as a much-need balm on the wounds we see all around..." -- Leslie Felperin, Sight and Sound

"...Written with the complexity of great fiction, avoiding obligatory scenes, cutting straight to the heart....The best film of 2001..." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"...The characters and the bond that develops between them are too complex for words....Their economy and the eloquence of Mr. Foster's unshowily beautiful images give MONSTER'S BALL the density and strangeness of real life..." -- A. O. Scott, New York Times

"...MONSTER'S BALL proves that Halle Berry had a spectacular performance inside her waiting to be unleashed and that Billy Bob Thornton still had a third one left in his stunning 2001 stockpile..." -- Mike Clark, USA Today

"...An interesting tale: well-told, sad and funny and ultimately uplifting..."-- Bridget Byrne, Box Office

"...The actors make it unique and unforgettable....You can't take your eyes off them..." -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

"...Burning with a quiet intensity, MONSTER'S BALL is bolstered by a poetic, intelligent sensibility..." -- Robert Koehler, Variety

"...[Thornton] gives the best performance of his career in MONSTER'S BALL....This is a fearless, brutally honest performance, etched with shadings and remarkable subtlety..." -- Stephen Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life   Hide Description

1 star UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! DID ANYONE SEE THE SAME MOVIE I DID!!!
BOY WHEN THEY FIX AN OSCAR AWARDS THEY PUT THE BEST RATINGS UP DON'T THEY? I WAS APPALLED AND DISTURBED AT THIS MOVIE. THOUGH IT WAS AN ORDINARY STORY AND THE ACTORS WERE OKAY IN IT I WAS SO SURPRISED THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED AS OSCAR MATERIAL. THE BEST ACTING PERFORMANCE WAS BILLY BOB'S AND YES IT HAD SOME REALLY EARTHSHAKING AND SOME IN YOUR FACE,VULGAR AND SURPRISING MOMENTS LIKE HEATH LEDGER SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE CHEST IN FRONT OF HIS FATHER AND YES THE SEX SCENES. THE BIGGEST SUPRISE OF ALL WAS THE VULGARITY OF HALLE BERRY THAT WAS CELEBRATED AND GLORIFIED BY THE OSCARS. HALLE BERRY IS A PRETTY WOMAN IN HER OWN RIGHT AND THIS IS A SIDE I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SEE. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE "GETS THERE FREAK ON" AS ONE PERSON WROTE HERE DOESN'T MEAN THAT HALLE DID A OSCAR CALIBER ACTING JOB!!!THIS WAS ONE CLICK SHY OF A PORNO FILM. ANGELA BASSET AND VIVICIA FOX CAN CAN ACT CIRCLES AROUND BERRY AND THE OSCARS ARE ABOUT CLASS AND TALENT. I PERSONALY SUMMED IT UP AS SOME POLITICALY MOTIVATED DECISION TO GIVE HER THE AWARD SO THEY COULD HAVE A "BLACK SWEEP" OF THE OSCARS. SINCE BEING GIVEN THIS OSCAR SHE HAS LET IT GO STRAIGHT TO HER HEAD BECAUSE THE CURRENT SWIRL IS THAT SHE HAS OPTED OUT OF X-MEN 3 BECAUSE SHE WANTED THIS 3RD PART TO BE ABOUT HER AND STORM BUT SINGER WOULDN'T DO THAT SO NOW SINGER IS OUT AS DIRECTOR. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS A OKAY MOVIE THAT'S NO WAY OSCAR CALIBER. I WAS JUST LIKE ALL THE GUYS IN AMERICA A HALLE BERRY FAN AND STILL AM ONE BUT NOW SHE'S JUST ORDINARY NOW. FOR WHOEVER OUT THERE WHO SAW THIS MOVIE THAT IS A FAN OF HERS AND DIDN'T LIKE IT I HOPE THAT THEY WOULD HOPE THAT SHE TAKES ON A REALLY CHALLENGING ROLL THAT REQUIRES REAL TALENT TO DO AND MAYBE AFTER A FEW YEARS SHE CAN GAIN BACK THAT RESPECT FROM THAT FAN BASE BECAUSE I AND OTHERS KNOW THAT SHE IS BETTER THAN THIS.

2 stars Wasn't very good
Why did Halle Berry get an Oscar for this movie? The plot and characters was good but the sex scene just came out of nowhere. The only reason they gave Halle an Oscar for this is because she had sex with a white man in a movie. If Halle's character was white everybody would say it was mediocre. Movie was bad but they had great actors in it. If Halle's performance was so good that she won an oscar, why didn't Billy Bob Thornton win one? Just goes to show that Hollywood is fake and phony.

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving ...

DVD $16.29  Top 500
DON'T SAY A WORD: When psychiatrist Nathan Conrad discovers that his daughter has been kidnapped, the only way he can get her back is to pry critical information from the mind of a seriously disturbed teenager with a secret stuck deep in a blocked memory. The Conrads are the prototypical happy family: Nathan, a successful doctor (Michael Douglas); his loving wife, Aggie (Famke Janssen), who is bedridden with a broken leg suffered in a skiing accident; and eight-year-old Jessie (Skye McCole Bartusiak), an extemely intelligent and well-loved young girl. But late one night Jessie is abducted and used as collateral for a dangerous group of men who will stop at nothing to recover a stolen ten-million-dollar jewel. Gary Fleder (KISS THE GIRLS) has crafted an excellent thriller shot on the streets of New York City, getting help from a fine supporting cast, including Oliver Platt as one of Dr. Conrad's medical colleagues, Jennifer Esposito as a cop out to get to the bottom of a series of unexplained murders, and Sean Bean as a violent criminal who will kill anyone who gets in his way. But this is Douglas's movie, starring as a loving family man and dedicated doctor who has to compromise his ethics in order to save his daughter's life and free a teenager from a dangerous psychosis.
