Review

Academy Awards and slap-up sex scenes don’t always go hand in hand, but the mammary glands of bravely stripped actress Halle Berry in Monster's Ball (2001) had Oscar voters rushing to stuff the ballot box while the mass audience vigorously applauded with one hand. Both playing rural and low-rent, exquisite creation of color Berry and paste-white costar Billy Bob Thornton put the sparks into one of the most unlikely love connections in modern film history. How often does a second-generation prison guard hook up with the gorgeous ex of an executed felon? Maybe more often than we might think, but never with the jaw-dropping spectator appeal of Halle and Billy Bob.
