Try to guess this one; What managed to keep me away from my PC in a whole day locked up in my room? … gastrointestinitis. After all the praying to get sick, I spent the whole Czech Republic vs Greece football match vomiting every quarter of an hour, and was confined to bed for the whole of yesterday. What's more this virus spreads like the sasser, because even my better half got the virus just by watching the game together. Thinking on the positive side, this is a good way to start my summer diet after three days drinking only water.

I was meant to write this review on Thursday but I had to safeguard the PC from my vomit frenzy. On Wednesday we watched Monster (review) starring Charlize Theron and Cristina Ricci. The movie is based on the true story drama of America's first female serial killer Aileen Wuornos. To play the part of Wuornos a hooker turned serial killer, Charlize Theron transformed herself beyond recognition to great effect. The story starts with the friendship (love) between Wuornos and Selby Wall (Christina Ricci) who escape together in search for the American dream. When the hardships of life fail to cease, Wuornos restarts her old hooker job to get some cash. One day one of her johns gets violent and she kills him as an act of self defence. This experience starts a snowball effect, adding the victim count by another 5. Since the film is based on a true story there's little suspense and a lot of drama. On thing is crystal clear though, Charlize Theron fully deserved the Oscar for this masterpiece. 4 Stars for the movie / 5 stars of Charlize performance.
