It was quite amusing watching the reactions of the older women in the audience.

Really good though, I think so, at least.

She was so desperate to give the great performance of the Black Swan that she went a bit mental and in the end almost/did kill herself. She was paranoid about the other girl and obviously had halluications about attacking her.


thats pretty much it.

I thought that too but there are several things that happened early on that don't point to that

I managed to dodge the bullet on this one. Was dragged to the cinema to see it but turned out it had been cancelled and will be released on the 28th. So saw the 'Green Hornet' instead which was good for a few laughs.

(this was a Vue cinema)

The most important question is

How hot is the scene with her and Mila?

I watched Black Swan last night with the other half.

Well, it is a melodramatic and pretentious waste of film for gays and women who enjoy duping themselves into a belief they are cultured by watching overacted pantomime rubbish like this. But because it is about ballet and a loss of sanity in someone suffering for their ‘art’ then it will clean up at the Oscars.

Avoid.

Saying that the two standout mucky scenes were a nice break from the swooning, painfully camp ‘misery’.

Fine, I will review it in suitable poor taste:

It is self indulgent gash.

OK?

I thought it was quite genius in places, very watchable and technically brilliant. The sort of film you'd actually debate what happened afterwards. If you liked The Wrestler, watch this.

[Yes it's about ballet, if that offends your manliness, don't watch it]

Watched it last night with the other 'arf.

Both really enjoyed it, it was a bit WTF in places but overall it was good. Thought it was shot partically well too.

How anyone can say this is awful is beyond me.

It was fantastic, she was awesome, the score was great and it was very very intense. Great film. Don't let the fact it's got ballet in it put you off, it's very well done, reminded me of his earlier work.

I couldn't shake Peter Griffin shouting "Shut up Meg" in my ear when watching it. biggrin

But I thought it was a very good film. The Natalie Portman character's breakdown seemed believeable, with things starting to be imagined, and then imagined things appearing to become real, and then there being great confusion between what's real and what's imagined.

Its not difficult to follow I didn't think.

Its a must see in a cinema as opposed to DVD film though.
