Just Saw "Monster"

[trishy]

I have to say it was a pretty great movie because of the incredible acting of Charlize Theron. I really hope she gets the Oscar for her performance. You won't recognize her at all - weight gain, make up (or lack of, I should say), hair, and clothes make her unrecognizable. The movie itself is very sad in many ways (it's based on a true story). It's not a 'feel good' movie, but it definitely deserves a looksy. Christina Ricci was pretty darn good in it, too. NOT A KID MOVIE. Some brain-dead parents brought their 5ish kid to this movie and left halfway through it - but believe me, enough had been seen already to traumatize this kid for the next 30 years.

because I live in the Daytona beach area, the case and the locations are well known here. From all I've heard, Theron will get an oscar nod.

Can't wait to see it. I watched most of that trial on Court TV, it was pretty disturbing. I've always enjoyed Charlize Theron, I hope she gets an Oscar nod.

By the way, have you seen the Aileen Wournos movie with Jean Smart and Park Overall? It's been on Lifetime about 10 million times.

Interview with Charlize last week, very interesting life she has had. She had to have latex applied to her face, for the roughness of it, as Eileen was a "rough" looking woman to say the least. What a life she had. Jean Smart and Park Overall were great in the lifetime version.

I want to see this also...........from what I've seen (Oprah), it looks like a very intriguing movie......Charlize looks amazingly like the woman Eileen in the movie...........what they can do with makeup,etc. these days.
