I saw Tron yesterday, I was more impressed by the sound than the visuals.

Retarded, but I liked it. I thought it was really fucking funny. Just completely outrageous. Nothing really made sense, and it wasn't supposed to.

Also watched Goodfellas again. Definitely one of my favorite movies.

Black Swan: 9.8/10
Black Swan is one of the finest films to be released in 2010. It’s story is one that can be dissected over and over, one of a psychological struggle, one that bridges the gap between fantasy and reality, one that is suspenseful, heartbreaking and smart. Above all, Black Swan is a film that features amazing direction and an amazing cast lead by Oscar-shoe-in, Natalie Portman.

Much of Black Swan dances around fantasy and reality; however, it is all centered on the deeper psychological sense of immersion and obsession with perfection. The film is acted to perfection, but the way in which it was shot and directed is flawless. An immeasurable amount of shots focusing on Nina include mirrors, which not only hints towards Nina’s reflection of herself and her actions versus her deeper drives, passions and desires, but also point towards the fragility and delicacy of Nina as a character. Constantly on the breaking point, these shots perfectly parallel just how overwhelmed and disconnected Nina truly is.

Just like the ballet in which she devotes herself to, Nina finds herself in an internal battle. She is obsessed with perfection of her craft; she completely devotes herself to her dance, which brings up issues within herself as she deals with the pressure from her mother who in large part is living her own dreams and passions through her daughter and the pressure to take advantage of her moment. However, subconsciously Nina just wants to escape. As opposed to her hallucinations in which her body, her own work of art, becomes flawed and stripped of the beauty that is essential for dance, Nina is constantly unknowingly inflicting damage upon herself by way of scratching her skin, trying to rid herself of her graceful body and, indirectly, her obsession with ballet.

To be blunt, Nina is so worried about perfection that it becomes all she knows. She loses her grip on reality and everything else becomes white noise. Her sexual frustrations come center stage as does her relationship with her mother. She is the ballet; able to reflect both the white and black swan. Innocence becomes chaos. Immersion becomes her downfall.

Natalie Portman has to win Best Actress. No ifs, ands or buts. She has to.

Great review of Black Swan, I am seeing it tonight, after that, I am very excited to see it.

 

[Buzzman]

The more and more I think about it, which I never thought would happen, Black Swan might actually top Inception as best movie of the year for me.

i saw it today......yeah that was my impression.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

Without pulling out the thesaurus I basically agree with SOS said about Black Swan although not quite with the same level of praise. Regardless, I'll be very surprised if Portman doesn't win best actress.

Pro: Badass movie. Never really any dull moment.

Con: Accents....obviously. Not even a single second of Eminem music after blasting it in previews for months. Bullshit!

Terrible Movie. Unfunny, boring, terrible acting by a lot of people... I heard good things about it and the only good was Ryan Renolds and looking at Anna Faris and some other girl from Popular Mechanics for kids. Somehow it got a sequel... :/

Thought this was a really funny documentary mocking religion. Although, it's blatantly biased and at times, I was frustrated at how interviews would be cut off after proving a point in favor of Maher. Overall, though, I'd give it a 7.5/10.

maybe the best movie of the year, possibly the best boxing film ever. Wahlberg and Bale give some of the best performances i have seen this year

Buried: 8.2/10 - It's one of the most fearless films in years and never tries to steer away from its direction. It's incredibly daring as it's filmed entirely in the coffin in which Paul is being kept in and is completely centered around him as a character. The film further defends its position of complications of finding one man held hostage and it makes the lack of urgency that much more horrifying. It's a unique, almost Hitchcockian-like thriller and some of the finest filmmaking due to the fact that it's confined to one location, which of course enforces the characters claustrophobic situation. It's a heart-pounding and heartbreaking film that features wonderful direction, but it's made what it is by Ryan Reynolds and his perfect depiction of desperation, a random man caught up in a terrible situation who is getting minimal help by those who truly can't understand his situation. The problem is...it's a really difficult watch. Really, really, really difficult. Beautiful, daring film with excellent acting and direction, but damn.

Winter's Bone: 9.1/10
It plays like a film reflecting on a different time period, one in which the community might be unified by location and activity, but stays out of others business and keeps their affairs to themselves, which will be a turn off to a much larger audience, but Winter’s Bone is a fine example of an overly mature and responsibly-overwhelmed girl who’s determined, but drastically in over her head. For a story that’s a far cry from the cinema today, the wild goose hunt-like plot is surprisingly well paced and shows the measures that one girl will take to keep a roof over her family’s head. The script is vague, perfectly reflecting the shadiness of the setting and the people who reside in it, the cinematography is gray, somber and dismal and the acting is so thoroughly ordinary that nothing seems staged, which is thanks in large part to a strong performance from newcomer Jennifer Lawrence. And, even though the tone is undeniably dark, a strong sense of family is obvious and not only pushes the main character forward, but also acts as the film’s most important theme.

True Grit (2010 Remake) - ***1/2 Stars.

See it for Bridges, Damon and a cast that's well suited for the simple story of revenge via 14-year-old girl and the hot steel of a loaded revolver.

 

[Primetime]

Many scenes might be a little boring for anyone that has zero interest in financial markets, but the Gecko's and Shia's character are more than enough to see this movie. Excellent story line and furthers my gay love for Shia Labeouf.
