Black Snake Moan

I watched Black Snake Moan last night, and as funny as it sounds, there's just something about Samuel.L.Jackson singing the blues that rocks big time! That Christina Ricci's grown into a complete hottie!



Premise: When divorced ex-musician Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) finds Rae (Christina Ricci) badly beaten by the side of the road, he brings her to his house and chains her to his radiator. Rae has been a wreck since her boyfriend (Justin Timberlake) went off to war, and has spent her time getting into fights and being taken advantage of by just about every man in town. Rae appears to be afflicted with a physical need for sex that no one can cure. As Lazarus watches Rae twitching with pain on his couch, he sees that the young woman’s only chance at redemption is in his hands.




All in all, the film manages to captivate you with it's fantastic blues soundtrack and somewhat bizarre premise, alongwith the acting skills of both Jackson and Ricci - finishing off with a somewhat predictable ending.
