Chris' Movie Questions: My MYSTIC RIVER Review
littleguitar:
Ok, I just rented it... oh the power of suggestion... I also now really want a hot dog because I just watched a special on Oscar Mayer on the food network... see, this is what I do when I'm no longer in school :-\

I was curious also, and rented Monster's Ball just to see Heath.
What's astonishing is the similarity to Ennis: the accent is very similar, there is a parallel "vomiting" scene, and the father/son tension. There's even a line that's the same in BBM.
I would recommend watching the first part to see Heath's performance; I can understand why a director would peg him as a serious actor. It's a moving performance.

:) for the record, this was my first glimpse of Heath (never saw the Patriot, Lords of Dogtown, etc.) and I was very impressed. Unfortunately the movie itself is so intense and grim that I have a really hard time watching it again. But that said, Hallie definitely earned her Oscar and Heath was great in such a short role..................

I suppose I'll watch it someday then...thanks all!

Given what's going on in your life, Chris, I am not sure I'd recommend this at this time. Go find something light, like "A Knight's Tale."
