SYNOPSIS

From the writer and director of the sleeper hit Hustle & Flow comes a gritty, seductive, blues-soaked tale of love, sex, music, and redemption. With a title inspired by a Blind Lemon Jefferson song - and a story driven by the soul-stirring rhythms and themes of blues music – writer/director Craig Brewer's Black Snake Moan descends into the dark, spellbinding heart of fear and desire and comes out the other side.

In a small Tennessee town, two unlikely souls are about to be lured together at the sticky crossroads between rage and love. Found lying on the side of the road, beaten and nearly dead, is Rae (Christina Ricci), a 22 year-old who has developed a reputation around town for having an insatiable "itch" for sex. Her rescuer is Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson), an ex-blues guitarist who has grown used to life's relentless strains of trouble and sorrow.

Desperate for a change himself, Lazarus holds Rae prisoner, and sets out to "cure" her of her wicked ways. But to get to the deep, dark bottom of Rae's mystery, Lazarus will first have to face the demons that reside in both their hearts, especially when Raes one true love Ronnie (Justin Timberlake), a Guardsman who was supposed to be headed for Iraq, comes looking for her.

Against its Southern gothic background, Black Snake Moan unfolds in raw, revealing and ultimately transcendent shades of blue. The film is produced by John Singleton and Stephanie Allain.

Black Snake Moan sounds pretty boring. The Number 23 was alright, I definitely wouldn't say it was a "mindfuck" though.

southern gothic is possibly the best genre.

the number 23 was better than i expected. jim carrey played the role very well. the ending kinda dragged, but it still blew my mind.

I just came back from Stranger Than Fiction. And I was posetively surprised.
Pretty nice soundtrack, too. <img src="http://forums.netphoria.org/wwwboard/icons/icon14.gif">

I also liked Stranger Than Fiction a lot more than The Number 23. For a "thriller" it didn't quite work so well if I could laugh at the scenes that were so over the top. Good effort, Jim Carey, I guess... but that's about it.
