Black Swan

Black Swan is a film about a ballet dancer who is set to be the star of swan lake. She is a perfect choice to play the sweet and innocent white swan, but has trouble with its alter ego, the black swan. A new dancer joins the company who is a natural black swan and soon the star of the show begins to lose her mind to the stress of the performance, her tough as nails director, and her control freak mother.

It's Oscar Season.

So far I have seen four of the ten Best Picture nominees. All four were excellent films and certainly deserve to be honoured in the best picture category. As you may or may not know there are three main flavours of best picture nominee. Front runners, spoilers, and it's an honour to be nominated. Our front-runners this year are the documentary known as How to Make a Best Picture Winner a.k.a. The King's Speech and the young upstart The Social Network which is about this new fangled internet thing that most of the members of the academy don't understand. As you may have gathered I'm slightly bitter about this whole thing.
