Sammy the Snake strikes again!!

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2007)

Not every day do you see a film that can present mindless humor in a mindful thought-provoking masterpiece. Fortunately Black Snake Moan is definitely one of these movies. Samuel L. Jackson delivers another solid performance complete w/ gritty guitar-playing. Christina Ricci delivers a well-acted performance, although she can be a bit annoying at times. I'm gaining respect for Justin Timberlake since the SNL skit and after seeing his performance in this movie, things have never looked better for him. Some of the scenes w/o Sammy can drag, but the movie's themes balance it out and make for an enjoyable time for all. I don't know how Sammy stumbled on the snake theme, but it's definitely working for him. Maybe Hollywood will remake one of those crappy Anaconda films and cast him as the lead.
