Quiet Saturday evening yesterday, just a quick drink (and this time it was just one, and very quick) with Chiara and Doriano before seeing Monster's Ball. Good movie, just a tad disappointed at seeing Heath Ledger make his exit so early into the movie. And, although she did deliver an outstanding performance, I am not entirely convinced that Halle Berry's Letitia was 100% Academy Award material. Berry must have jumped with excitement while reading the script, for it is one hell of an all-round role for a female actress, enabling her to portray a fighter and loving hysterical mother and deceived wife and horny lover and victim of racial prejudice and survivor of deaths of loved ones, all at the same time. She was good in all of the above facets (and I'm sure I'm forgetting some), skillfully jumping in and out and around all these female role models, but I personally was more convinced by Billy Bob Thornton's subdued and hinted-at emotions that his character demanded.
