OMG. Who in Hollywood is sleeping with someone or at least owes someone a REALLY BIG favor on the Oscar nomination team for BLACK SWAN to ever have been nominated??? This movie was the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen! What's next for nomination? Saw VI? Jesus . . .
Let me tell you, the camera constantly following Portman around like the "Blair Witch Project" and Winona Ryder stabbing herself repeatedly in the face with a nail file, really ranks right up there with past winners like "The English Patient"(my favorite movie of all time) or "Schindler's List". Or how about the literal soft porn, e.g., the masturbation and lesbian scenes. I kept praying Nina (Portman) would "live a little" and just get laid so that the movie would end already.
Albeit, the movie was a very accurate depiction of one's descent into madness with the hallucinations and paranoia fueled by perfectionism and Mommy Dearest. But again, I've seen that before, in a much more realistic and less horror movie sense when I saw "A Beautiful Mind"(also an Academy Award winner). However, "Black Swan" did nothing but make me laugh. It was just plain silly when it was trying to be all artsy and dramatic.
If this movie wins over "True Grit" or "The King's Speech", I'm writing a formal letter to the Academy. It will read as follows:
Dear Oscar,Anyway, I saw a really good movie lately starring my lover, Johnny Depp. It is called "Dead Man" and it freakin' rocks. It's what's described as an "acid" western slash Blood Meridan (By Cormack McCarthy) black and white film. Go to your local video store and rent it. Did I mention that it stars Johhny Depp??!! Oh. I did? Just checking.
WTF?
Sincerely,
Nikki
Also, on other breaking movie news HENRY CAVILL IS GOING TO STAR IN THE NEXT SUPERMAN MOVIE. Oh, HELL YES. Who is Henry Cavill? Get to Know the New Superman.
Good God. I could watch this all day . . .
That is all.
Yours Truly,

oh dearie, I will have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I adore ms. portman and i think she did a fantastic job. for a non-dancer to do allthe shit she does in a ballet movie...I mean come on! she rocked it.
I do have to say other than her performance, I was unimpressed by the rest of it. the story, the cast, the editing....sorta blah, The whole thing was over-rated. But natalie is great.
Henry makes me tingle...
I would agree that Natalie Portman was good in this movie . . . it was just very hard for me to see it because I was so annoyed by everything else!! Anyway, I'm glad I'm not a ballerina. That shit is intense!
OK this is just me.
How many ocupatations get paid for their ability to entertain. If you get someone to pay to wtch you pretend to be a fictional charactor, is that not codos already?
Honestly, I really enjoyed "Black Swan." I thought Natalie Portman did a great job, but it was a "different" kind of movie that's for sure.
I believe "The King's Speech" deserves Best Picture though.
Oh and Henry Cavill...YUMMY! I watched a few episodes of "The Tudors" and fell in love with him!
I will definitely have to rent that movie with Johnny Depp because he is one of my all-time favorites! Thanks for the recommendation!
