Trailer Time: Black Swan (To Be Released: 1st December 2010)



Finally we get a trailer for Aronofsky's first film of the decade, 'Black Swan', which may provide Natalie Portman with an award-winning role as a veteran ballet dancer threatened by a new rival. The trailer is full of ideas but I'm glad they don't seem to spoil the film which I hope will be as mysterious and thrilling as the classic supernatural ballet film - Dario Argento's 1977 masterpiece 'Suspiria'...

(UK Release Unknown)

Recent Review: The Stupids (Released: 30th August 1996)

"Okay... Camouflage lesson No. 1... To look like a bush you have to think like a bush... Okay, here I am, just being a bush. Just growing and hanging out. Oh yes, this is the life for me! Sure is a lot of soil around here; a lot of sunshine too... As a bush I notice these things. Wait a minute. What's this? I have arms? I am a bush with arms! And legs! I am the first bush in history with legs! I can walk! Oh, gaze ye unbelievers upon this miracle! This walking bush! Half-man, half-plant; he dwells in two worlds, but is the master of both! OH MAN-BUSH! YOU ARE NATURE'S GREATEST WONDER!" - Stanley Stupid

(Might as well start here as anywhere. I will add these pages as I add new reviews, with the ultimate goal being to give yearly summaries and awards. I will add links to my reviews as I do them, as well as links in the sidebar as I post these pages. I only rank films I own on DVD, as although I may see something I don't always remember it well enough to compare it.)
