neutral · AI labelView post →I actually genuinely think its just laziness on People's part, and am more concerned about IMDB here, which lists Catwoman as the first movie in her known for section. Monster's Ball is her oscar role and it's last. What metric are they even using here, it goes from lowest to highest rated movie:
neutral · AI labelView post →Eg Monster's Ball (the Halle Berry film) was translated as "The Past Condemns Us" in parts of Latin America but as "Change of Life" ("Cambio de Vida") in Argentina, which was also the translated title of the Susan Sarandon film "Anywhere But Here"
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching2026 Monster's Ball (2001) If this film were told from Halle Berry's character's perspective, it would be a horror film.
neutral · AI labelView post →BULWORTH, with Warren Beatty, is a favorite from her early career. SWORDFISH, a high-tech, high-concept heist film with John Travolta and Hugh Jackman. She won her Oscar for MONSTER'S BALL, but that film is major bag of downers. #HATM
neutral · AI labelView post →Quantum of Solace is a sorely underrated Bond movie, the most complex film of the entire series. The villain is a Eurotrash POS trying to corner the world's water market. Visually stunning, sophisticated, and directed by Marc Forster, who made his name with a little indie called Monster's Ball.

neutral · AI labelView post →Supernova. The first movie to be disavowed with the name Thomas Lee instead of Alan Smithee. And Angela Bassett turned down Monster's Ball to do it. Not even Francis Ford Coppola could save it (and yes, he DID try).

negative · AI labelView post →This film and "Monster's Ball" (2001) show a lot of the wide range of his acting talent.
neutral · AI labelView post →Is it house style in some publications to credit a film to the producer rather than the director? Just saw the Guardian (I know, well known for all sorts of gaffes) credit 'Monster's Ball' to producer Lee Daniels, not director Marc Forster.
neutral · AI labelView post →I still plan to watch the movie but it tracks with the history of Black actors winning awards. Denzel wins Best Actor for playing an absolute villain in Training Day. Halle Berry wins Best Actress for playing down and out in Monster's Ball.

Billy Bob Thornton (wanted to say Tommy Lee Jones), Halle Burton, the late Heath Ledger in once again a stellar performance and Peter Boyle as a to the bone southern white racist. Excellent movie Sean 'Diddy' Combs, too, gave an impressive performance.
