\nWent to the movies to see “Monster<\/a>“. IMDB does show a somewhat good rating for it – 7.5\/10, but neither Olga, nor I liked it. Something is missing from the movie. The story is interesting and original, even boasted to be based on the real one. Acting is nice. Soundtrack is OK. But there is nothing disturbing about the movie. Maybe we were just in the wrong mood. Or maybe because they made Charlize Theron<\/a> (“The Italian Job<\/a>“) so visually horrible that she was spoiling the movie. Christina Ricci<\/a> (“The Addams Family<\/a>“) was a cutie though. Stupid, psychologically damaged, but cute. :)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
