Black Swan


Black Swan stars Natalie Portman as a ballet dancer in an Oscar worthy performance. We have seen Natalie grow up on the screen from The Professional to Star Wars so you would think that you would know what kind of performance to expect from her. But in Black Swan she raises the bar and shows why she is one of the best female actresses on the screen today.
The story is a about a ballet dancer who wins the lead in "Swan Lake" Babara Hershey, who's talents has been missing from the screen for years, stars as her mother and does an excellent job.
The movie is a study in madness and is one of my favorite movies of the year.
Black Swan is why I fell in love with the movie experience. Every few years a movie comes out that is not predictable and that takes viewers to a place they have not visited before where they are taken on a journey for 2 hours.

Verdict:
MUST SEE! One of the best movies of 2010. Natalie Portman will win the Oscar, sorry Annette Bening but The Kids Are Alright was just alright.
