I went to see Monster's Ball last night. I'm no film critic, so I'll just say I liked it a lot. It was an incredibly powerful movie, and a big part of its impact was the tremendous acting by Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton. Nico and Ces, who went with me to the cinema, don't agree with me, BTW. They both wanted to leave 30 minutes into the movie. I just told them to go if they wanted to, I'd take a taxi home. They stayed, but both said I should reimburse them for the ticket. Did I mention it was I who insisted we go watch this one?
