Black Snakes make you moan?

This nympho walks into a bar ...

Soon after I started this blog in 2002,  I found, and was captivated by, this picture somebody had posted without identifying who it was.  Later I found out it was actress Christina Ricci, whom I had never to my knowledge, before yesterday, seen on film.  That movie was Black Snake Moan.  Is that the worst, least enticing movie title in history, or what?  Only Showtime's On-Demand description enticed me to give it a try. Yes, to see this Ricci girl, but mostly for Samuel L. Jackson who's a damned good actor.  Afterward, when I told MoSup, who'd been in and out of the room while I watched, that I'd just seen a pretty good movie, she said  "It didn't sound like it to me."   Which is your clue that the language is gamy, at best.  Like I said though, a pretty good movie, or I wouldn't waste the ink talking about it.  PS. - Oddly enough, it actually qualifies as a chick-flick on many levels. Except maybe for the black snake parts. PPS. Justin Timberlake is weak. Trailer
