The lurid scenario–a nymphomaniacal white trash nymphet (Christina Ricci) is held prisoner by a bitter bluesman (Samuel L. Jackson)–gives way to an affecting tale of redemption in Black Snake Moan, writer/director Craig Brewer’s follow-up to the acclaimed Hustle & Flow. Lazarus (Jackson, Jungle Fever, Pulp Fiction) finds Rae (Ricci, Monster, The Ice Storm) beaten unconscious on the road in front of his backwoods house. After bringing her inside, he learns of her wanton ways and decides to exorcise his own demons by curing Rae of her sexual compulsion. Black Snake Moan could have been terrible, but Brewer takes his story seriously enough to dig into the genuine emotions of such a situation (though along the way he certainly flirts with sexploitation overtones–several scenes look like they were plucked straight out of a hitherto unknown 1970s trash classic). Ricci, Jackson, and the supporting cast (including pop star Justin Timberlake, giving a surprisingly

Thomas Guión: Craig Brewer Música: Scott Bomar Productora: Paramount Vantage Sinopsis: Hubo un tiempo en que Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) tocaba blues; una época en que el local de Bojo se venía abajo escuchándole. Pero ahora el mundo se le ha venido encima. Amargado y roto, incapaz de sobreponerse al fracaso de su matrimonio y a una mujer que le engañaba, sólo piensa en que ha sido traicionado... hasta que aparece Rae (Christina Ricci). Lazarus la encuentra medio desnuda tirada en una cuneta después de recibir una terrible paliza. Este hombre de mediana edad temeroso de Dios no tarda en descubrir que la joven blanca a la que está cobijando es la fulana de la pequeña ciud
There was a time when Lazarus 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. 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, but escape to a better life is short-lived when Ronnie ships off for boot camp.
Desperation kicks in, as a drug-indu

Black Snake Moan features a game that is very entertaining even if you are not a musician. The "play the blues" section on the website features a guitar with more than a dozen riffs you can choose from to create your own blues song. Add these sound clips to a timeline to create your own song. The coolest part of this is that you can either send the song to a friend or even add your song creation to your myspace page.
Another section of the website, "down home facelift," allows you to paste your face or any picture you want onto the body of one of the stars of the movie. After you "paste" your face to their body you can send this off to a friend, or even better yet add your friends face to the "body" and send it to that friend! Hopefully they will have a sense of humor about it...
The website also features some "customizable myspace skins," the usual aim icons, and some desktop wallpaper too.

As if spending two hours watching Samuel L. Jackson yelling at a chain, half naked Christina Ricci wasn't enough of a reason to see Black Snake Moan, Christina Ricci's nude sex scene with Justin Timberlake should be. For the ladies, as well as the guys.Of course, it's not like you have to go to the theatres to see said sex scene, though, because it's right here, too. The clip is short, but I'm pretty sure there's some very brief Christina Ricci nipple action. Sorry ladies, I wasn't checking for any Justin Timberlake nipple action.
