Black Swan
Jan. 19th, 2011 05:18 pmI still have a zillion (okay, five) items on my list of things to post about, so let's see if I can knock a few out this week. I just seem to keep seeing more stuff, and then the list gets longer...
So, let's talk about Black Swan, which is rather apropos, given that I went to the ballet just last night (yay for friends with box seats! lol). You may remember me mentioning that Kelly and I saw Black Swan while she was here for New Year's. The review is pretty spoilery, so if you haven't seen it and you plan to, here's the short version: I loved it, Kelly pronounced it "fuckin' weird" and watched a fair bit of it peeking out from behind her scarf. :) To be fair, it is pretty grotesque at times. It's a psychological horror movie, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't like it. But amidst the gore, it really is gorgeous filmmaking. Oh, and there's some explicit sex, so, you know... leave the kids at home.
