005; There is a black swan on chronic in Narnia.

This week, I watched 2 movies: Black Swan and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Black Swan features the gorgeous Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, and there's quite a bit of sexual content: some girl on girl action, male and female, and um.. just Nat. Got your attention? Anyways the whole gist of it all is Portman is a student dancer who fights for the role of the Swan Queen in the dance production of Swan Lake. The general idea of the story is that everyone embodies a swan queen, an angel and a demon. It's emotional, thrilling (I jumped at some scenes), and just brilliant. At the most, this is a poignant film and it's highly recommended for any film lover. GO WATCH IT.

The Chronicles of Narnia, on the other hand, is a light hearted fantasy movie. I didn't read the books, but I'm a sucker for fantasy movies. The main characters, once again, get warped into a fantasy land called Narnia where lions talk and kids don't have to go to school. They fight things and go on adventures and all that fun stuff. I couldn't help but draw similarities with this and the Harry Potter series, like the Swords of the Seven Lord (Narnia) and the 7 horcrux (HP). Oh and just a note: HP > Narnia. Despite the kids crying in the background - don't you hate it when people decide to add their own soundtrack? -  I thought it was an entertaining movie and the water scenery was really pretty.

Oh and Black Swan is directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi, The Fountain). He's supposedly this incredible director that will go down in history, so if you haven't watched any of his stuff I suggest you do so - starting with Black Swan.



I'll probably watch Little Fockers on xmas day.
Until then Merry Christmas!! =)
