Craig Brewer made one of the most startling film debuts in recent history with Hustle & Flow, which ended up getting two Oscar nominations and winning one for Best Original Song. Instead of waiting for the accolades to roll in Brewer jumped right into his next picture, the southern fried noir-esque Black Snake Moan. Brewer has sidestepped the sophomore slump with this amazingly original picture. Samuel L. Jackson plays Lazarus, a retired blues singer, whos wife recently left him for his brother.
if this movie doesn't become my favorite after i see it i will be thoroughly disappointed!! i'm sooooo excited for this movie and that is a HUGE statement!
The first time I saw the comercial for this movie was during the Daytona 500 on CMT. I was like, "OH SHIT! Are these people trying to kill Sammy Jackson by showing this commercail during the redneck superbowl, the Daytona 500! " Anyway, I totally want to see this movie, it piqued my interest that day.
