Monster: Review

Best Actress Oscar-winner Charlize Theron undergoes an astonishing physical transformation in this startlingly raw, 2003 dramatization of serial-killer Aileen Wuornos' lurid career. Expert makeup and some serious acting chops turn a Hollywood goddess into the grubby, hardscrabble Florida prostitute who claimed she was killing johns in self-defense. Few actresses have ever gone so far over to the dark side, and Theron's so frighteningly good that it's easy to overlook what a wonderfully subtle performance Christina Ricci gives as Wuornos' lover, Selby. With her hair in a mullet and her arm in a cast, she's the naive, self-centered beauty to Theron's ferocious beast. Read the complete review for Monster

Arrested Development Anyone else... | Today's News: Our Take | 12/6/2005
Arrested DevelopmentAnyone else get the sense that the writers were already getting nostalgic tonight? Not that I wasn't, too. If we're crying on the inside while watching the show's dying breath, we might as well get to laugh on the outside at some of its great recurring jokes. When Michael announced his wedding plans, George Sr. and Lucille reacted the same way they all did to George Michael's ex, Ann: "Who?" Then there was Lindsey imitating Lucille's scary wink. And my personal favorite was Gob's good-natured, "Look at Banner, Michael!" and the banner that said, "Michael Love Marry." As for new jokes, I loved the references to the actors'/characters' past: Lucille was apparently once a waitress at Stuckey's; Buster got his hook stuck when dancing to "Mr. Roboto" in the stair car, read more
