As promised, 'Black Swan' was watched last night (although Allison had to take her kitty to the emergency vet and missed it - boo).
Synopsis: A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette - but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile the Black Swan, daughter of an evil magician.
Review: Okay, so I will be totally honest. I did NOT want to see this movie. After seeing the trailer, I was totally freaked out. Most of the time during the movie, I was turning to my sister or Rhonda and saying 'I don't like this' or hiding my face behind my hands or giggling inappropriately. I was probably the most annoying person for them to sit by ever. {grin}
This movie was totally insane. Natalie Portman is amazing as Nina, and it is hard to watch her slowly go crazy. Literally. Crazy. When the movie finished, I sat there and said 'WTF'. I think that's the perfect description. This movie was totally unique and, as crazy as it was, totally awesome. Natalie Portman totally deserves the Oscar for Best Actress, and I wouldn't be too upset if it won Best Picture (but I still like 'The King's Speech' the best). Bottom line: This movie is CRAZY AWESOME!
6 down, 4 to go!

Crazy awesome is a good description. I thought it was fantastic but I wouldn't want to sit through it again...I felt anxious the entire movie.
i want to see this movie so bad!
and ps...the king's speech looks incredibly boring. i'm completely wrong?
Black swan was one film that made me cover my eyes a few times too!
Agreed it was awesome! I saw it with my mom and when it ended I think we both sat there with our mouths open. WTF is the best description I've heard!
