The Shakespeare-spewing Don King may be evil, but I bet he’s always the life of the party. Mike Tyson may have odd eating habits, but he is not boring...
Berry, in her Oscar-winning part in Monster's Ball, plays a woman who falls in love with a recovering white racist. After Berry learns that her new love also happens to be the man who executed her husband, she puts up some token resistance, then meekly sticks with him. Even Lifetime TV-movie heroines fight back harder when they find out the men in their lives aren't who they purported to be. Washington, in his Oscar-winning role in Training Day, portrays a murderous, on-the-take narcotics detective. His performance is charged with lightning...
