This is one of the most real to life dramas I have experienced of flicks. Tears trying to escape my eyes most of the way through. The foul mouth is a bit rough but there are so many real life events as the such. The Godly focus puts it into real perspective because after 38 years on this earth I found out that god is for real. One must invite Jesus into their life if they want to know for sure. "T... read more

Lazarus, who is also facing personal crisis at the dissolution of his marriage, nurses Rae back to health, providing her with gentle, fatherly advice as well as an education in blues music. Rae's boyfriend, Ronnie, goaded by the man who nearly beat Rae to death, misunderstands the relations ... (more)

" With a title like Black Snake Moan, a tagline that reads "Everything is hotter down south" and a cover that depicts a white nympho-tramp (yes, in the movie, Christina Ricci portrays a character who is a nymphomaniac) chained up by a bald black guy wearing a wife beater t-shirt, did the porn version of this movie (and let's face it, there are always porn versions of these movies) have to do any changes in their spoof depiction of this movie?
