Black Snake Moan a review by Spodarek

Samual L. Jackson is Black Snake Moan. See my reivew from the World Cinema Showcase 2007 in Wellington, New Zealand:

Black Snake Moan by Writer/Director Craig Brewer opens and closes with black and white archival footage of Mississippi Delta Blues Man Son House (1902-1988) talking about the blues: how the blues can move you to do anything, even move you to kill. Powerful stuff.

Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci are compelling characters as Lazarus and Rae, an unlikely couple to form a friendship other than a sexual one.
