Review:

I had avoided monsters ball, but it was surprisingly good, including halle berry and bb thornton, both 
excellent. Seen live flesh years ago, and it was great too. Almodovar makes a more heightened 
version of the melodrama we see in hollywood, and javier bardem is brilliant as the unsympathetic 
shot cop in a wheelchair. Yes two sides of the same coin these film, but more art in live flesh.
