Kari i am the same as you with Monster, some great acting but the subject was a bit depressing. Charlize and Christina Ricci did a great job .

ETA: I ended up watching the end of The thing called love.. i dont know what i think of it... River just did not seem too well to me so that was a bit saddening.. to cheer myself up a few days later i watched Stand By Me for the 100th time . And last night Mum and i watched Forest Gump gosh it is a great movie... i love it.
