Triplebeard's Review

Summary - Good 3.0

Black Snake Moan is a blues ballad of the south that i would image happens all the time. Sam L. Jackson takes you to a land of heathens and “sick” people you want to visit. good flick. check it out

Acting - Good 3.0

the range of performances in this movie are far and wide. right down to the part played by Christina Ricci as a easy drug addicted nymphomaniac. Sam Jackson doesn’t surprise with his typical “bad ass” character he plays in this.

Male Stars - Very Good 3.5

Sammy L Jackson plays the savior Lazarus in this story and like i mentioned above he is just a bad ass. he fits this part well and he seems to put the soul back in the blues as some would say.

Female Stars - Very Good 3.5

Christina Ricci really surprised me in this movie. i was expecting her to be ok at best with her acting but she did a decent job. yeah she could have probably done better and they probably could have found a better girl to play the part but she seemed to be really comfortable in the slut of the south gig so why take that from her :P

Female Costars - OK 2.5

this movie had a good range of costars in it. nothing special about there characters popped out to me and this goes the same for the male costars

Male Costars - OK 2.5

it seemed to me everything else was a filler in this movie. it revolved around Sam J and Christina R and thats the way it should have been. screw everyone else i say. if you like this movie you know what I'm talking about.

Film - Good 3.0

seemed like a good enough set up for the movie. i liked the locations, stars, music, and editing. they really seemed to click in all the right spots to make a seamless style for this film even down to the flash backs of the “bad times” for Christina Ricci’s character.

Direction - Very Good 3.5

I'm not familiar with the director of this movie and it seems like good grounds to try out another flick. he did a good job with this one and i wouldn't be surprised if he has a passion for music as the blues in this were pretty sweet

Dialogue - Barely OK 2.0

im not a fan of southern talk and this movie was full of it. i refuse to belevie that even to this day people talk like there from the 1950's even in a place were their from.

Music - Great 4.0

the blues in this film were awesome. even down to good ol' Sammy Jacksons performance in the bar scene. i wonder if he ever thought about getting into the music biz, if he hasn't tried already.

Visuals - Good 3.0

nothing to much that stood out id say it was fine but this wasn't a film revolving around the glimmer of being a hillbilly (lol) when they did have the flash backs and other "attacks" mentally on various characters though they seemed to make them pop just at the right times.

Edge - Sordid 2.6

id say this one is up there for some Sam Jackson movies. allot of Christina Ricci nudity. i wasn’t counting but you had to see her naked quite a few times. not to mention it was “implied” not really show that she had sex with at least 4 guys during the events of the film.

Sex Erotic 2.8

some of the Ricci sex scenes were more then your average scene from a movie. id say this is one of those films she is not going to show her kids someday.

Violence Fierce 1.6

I love the just on the meter from gentle to fierce. i wouldnt say the violence in this was crazy but they kept you on your toes a bit. any day you see a girl get the crap kicked out of her its a fierce event i guess.

Rudeness Profane 3.5

if i could choose one person on this planet to listen to swear allot if would have to be Samuel l. Jackson. he is just a bad ass. especially when he just goes of on a profane rant in the middle of a blues song.

Reality - Glib 1.4

oh i could see this happening in the south, i mean come on this is something that happens twice a day in some towns i imagine down there. lol

Circumstantial - Surreal 2.1

the circumstances shown in this film i would say is a nice outlook. id image if they wanted to make this a little more realistic they could have. not everything in like ends with a happy ending.

Biological - Natural 1.0

Physical - Natural 1.0
