Black Snake Moan

There was a time when Lazarus (SAMUEL L. JACKSON) played the blues; a time he got Bojo’s Juke Joint shakin’ back in the day. Now he lives them. Bitter and broken from a cheating wife and a shattered marriage, Lazarus’ soul is lost in spent dreams and betrayal’s contempt…Until Rae (CHRISTINA RICCI).

Half naked and beaten unconscious, Rae is left for dead on the side of the road when Lazarus discovers her. The God-fearing, middle-aged black man quickly learns that the young white woman he’s nursing back to health is none other than the town tramp from the small Tennessee town where they live. Worse, she has a peculiar anxiety disorder. He realizes when the fever hits, Rae’s affliction has more to do with love lost than any found. Abused as a child and abandoned by her mother, Rae is used by just about every man in the phone book. She tethers her only hope to Ronnie (JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE), but escape to a better life is short-lived when Ronnie ships off for boot camp. Desperation kicks in, as a drug-induced Rae reverts to surviving the only way she knows how, by giving any man what he wants to get what she needs…Until Lazarus.

Refusing to know her in the biblical sense, Lazarus decides to cure Rae of her wicked ways – and vent some unresolved male vengeance of his own. He chains her to his radiator, justifying his unorthodox methods with quoted scripture. Preacher R.L. (JOHN COTHRAN) intervenes, but it is Lazarus and Rae who redeem themselves. Unleashing Rae emotionally, Lazarus unchains his heart, finding love again in Angela (S. EPATHA MERKERSON). By saving Rae, he frees himself.

Sounds like a "must see". I'll wait till it hits the dish network and I'll watch it for free offshore at work or when it hits the $1 DVD rental kiosk at the Kroger store by the house. That way if it turns out to suck I didn't pay full price.

Oh the joys of being in China half the time.

If you don't watch the movie on a plane, you buy it on DVD for 5 RMB ($0.60) and watch it within two or three days of its US release. Caution though, the usual sources for movies seem to have dried up. Several titles are showing up in Russiona now instead of English. Luckily most of the bigger DVD kiosks have a player where you can test the disk before buying.

I buy movies 10-20 at a time. Especially TV series like Friends, Sex in the City, Everyone Loves Raymond, Desperate Housewives, Band of Brothers, etc etc. I must have 500 or more DVDs in China. I'll be faced with an ethical conundrum if and when we ever move here. What to do with the movies? Clearly illegal here. And just as clearly, you can't actually find legal DVDs in China in medium sized cities or below. They are all copies. Even in the large stores that ostensibly have "real" DVDs, they are still copies.

Will I bring them back here or not. Hmmmm....
