rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - If you want a relaxing movie to unwind with after a week of hard work, you do not want to rent Monster’s Ball. Here I am with a free evening and the boys off camping, and I grab a film that made my chest hurt watching it, and I’m still...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author violinist602 - I like Halle Berry and i think she is one of the most beautiful women on the planet, but that was no excuse for her to act in this movie. I give her much respect for acting in roles that no one else wants. She built her respect up, but i should of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CoyoteWoman - Let it be said that I LOATHE Halle Berry in every way. I loathe her as an actress, a model, and as a person whose vacant shallow gaze can send me running and screaming - goose bumps crawling along my flesh. If she were just another dumb god awful actress...

Sun, 15 Dec 2002 20:57:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nolan_j_sephoy - With all the hype this movie received mostly because of Halle Berry’s absolutely embarrassing Oscar win, you’d think there might be some substance to “Monster’s Ball”. Sadly, there is not. This is an ugly, ugly, movie with some...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author flamepillar - Monster's Ball. WOW. What in the world do you say about a movie like this? Well, I have found that a lot of times, the harder it is to talk about a movie, the more I like it. I mean, just look at American Beauty. I love American...

Sun, 11 Aug 2002 23:01:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - Last year, "Monster's Ball" offered Halle Berry her Best Actress Oscar nomination and win. Instead, Berry ought to have fought for top or at least second billing in this drama. That Heath Ledger is second in the credits over Berry is insulting...

mvie mu-1111385: A ball not to be missed

Tue, 6 Aug 2002 20:15:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author soeil17 - I think that Monster’s Ball is a movie that you have to prepare yourself to see. It’s not something to just pop in when you’re bored. It will draw out every single emotion that you have and ride it like a roller coaster. You will feel sympathy,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author youngchinq - This is going to be a messy. Honestly, I do not know how I should begin my review for Monster’s Ball. How about I throw around some names? Billy Bob Thornton; Sean “P. Diddy” Combs; Heath Ledger. And then there’s Halle Barry, someone...

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 00:23:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jla2984 - Halle Berry's Best Actress win sparked my interest in this film. The scene playing in the background of Berry crying and screaming over the death of her son lead me to believe her Oscar was well-deserved. I know now that the clip was the only time in...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jimdaisy - ... and we failed. Miserably. Maybe some people wouldn't connect it with the other movie. However, it begins with a nasty electrocution and a long walk down a very green hallway. Plus a young guy who just can't get the hang of how to strap on the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lansky2000 - Probably the biggest sensation at Negro Night at the Oscars Y2K2 was Halle Berry upsetting Nicole Kidman for the Best Actress Award. Many felt it was a coattail sweep following Poitier and Denzel's big scores, and I was one of the many who made it a...

Sun, 5 May 2002 01:49:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Shanti - Halle Berry’s performance in “Monster’s Ball” did more than open the door for actors of color to receive Oscars. Her raw and intense portrayal of a woman who loses everything takes audiences into the psychological prisons human beings lock themselves in...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mattjoe - Halle Berry clearly deserved her best actress Oscar for her role in Monster's Ball.
