Black Swan - 9.5/10: Sorry zin, this was fucking awesome. :awe: We both let out audible "wow"s right after it ended. Granted, our viewing experience was much, much better than yours (we went to an old school theatre with a balcony and sat right in the middle of the balcony, with only about 10 other people in there). I think Portman's issues were fascinating in how they manifested themselves,I really connected with her right from the very beginning and rooted for her along the way and I was actually so involved in it I wanted her to succeed, no matter the cost, much like the character herself. Anyway, kind of rambling because I just got back from the theatre, but yeah, easily in my top 10 for the year. Loved Cassel and Hershey (Ryder was good in her brief appearances too) but I agree with Kunis, though she was insanely freaking hot in that one scene (you know which one I mean :sneaky: ). Now to get that damn Swan Lake song out of my head...I mean it pretty much turned into a horror movie, which was great for me; I was actually reminded of Cronenberg's The Fly a lot (pulling at fingernails, funny hair-like things on her back).

Must see this. I'm definitely an Aronofsky fan, though I don't love everything he does.
