I went and saw this movie last night. Apparently it's been slammed by the critics but I never listen to what they say anyway.

I don't know if any of you have seen it or even know what it's about but basically it's a very sad, dark story of the demise of a woman (Aileen Wuornos) payed by the normally very lovely Charlize Theron (not looking lovely at all). She has been a hooker since age 13 and without giving the story away she eventually gets arrested after killing several men.
The thing that struck me was that whenever I hear a news bulletin about a person having murdered several people my immediate reaction is "That sicko deserves to die!" and seeing this movie gave me a new slant on what may lead up to person committing such a horrific crime. Don't get me wrong I'm no bleeding heart (ok well maybe a little bit :rolleyes: ) I don't think upbringing or lack there of justifies someones actions but it certainly made me think about the series of events that drove her to the point where she blew away men.
Definitely not a chick flick but I went with 2 of my gal pals and we all needed a drink afterwards! :apint: :apint: :apint:
