Movie Interrupted

Do you ever try watching a movie, only to find that you just can't do it? That's what happened to me tonight. I tried watching Monster -- the CharlizeTheron/Christina Ricci movie about the Florida serial killer -- but I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes.

Actually, I wanted to stop watching it during the earliest scenes where the serial killer is recounting her childhood and her dreams to grow up pretty and rich. Now don't get me wrong -- I understand that the real-life woman on whom the movie is based was a nasty serial killer. Still, there was just something so terribly sad about the situation that I could not watch it.
