Monica in The Matrix Reloaded
Wednesday, May 7, 2003
Despite my earlier, more hopeful forecast, The Matrix Reloaded may not do that much for Monica Bellucci after all — the movie, while bristling with all the nifty special effects one could want from a Matrix sequel, was otherwise pretty empty and unlikely to have the pop cultural impact the first Matrix had. Moreover, Monica’s character was not especially memorable ... or necessary.... Read more
