After his recent split from Rachel Weisz after 9 years, Darren Aronofsky might not be the only one looking to become an entirely different person. Black Swan is the director's most highly anticipated film yet, even surpassing that of
The Wrestler. But will his creepy, dramatic story of passion and obsession in the competitive ballet world gain attain The Wrestler's level of critical acclaim? After everybody gets a gander at Natalie Portman's mesmerizing performance(she spent months training as a ballerina for the role), my guess is that the answer will be a resounding "Yes"! You can check out my review of Black Swan

The Warrior's Way had me at hello. Ninjas. Small western towns. Geoffrey Rush. Kate Bosworth. Swords and bloody rooftoop battles under moonlight. Yeah, that's the stuff. Probably would've fared better if it had released a month from now when all the Oscar contenders have shot their wads, but that's ok. December could use a little lightening up.
