Black Swan (2010)
Boring, yawn, boring.
What an over-hyped disappointment. Other than watching Natalie Portman act for a hundred minutes, this movie was extremely tedious since I didn't care a thing about any of the characters. None of the characters were engaging, the directing was disjointed and uninteresting, the sex was sophomoric and gratuitous, and I'm glad others had forewarned so I only wasted time and not money on this C- yawn. Reminds me of Basic Instinct with a wannabe baby Esterhaus director struggling for a manipulative plot to justify some sexual titillation and hopefully get buzz. The best thing about this movie was the actual ballet performances. Unfortunately they were few and what was in between didn't justify the wait. What a waste, save your time and money.
What I Did for Love (2006)
Awful
I adore romance but this one was so trite it's actually hokey. Also boring, predictable, and done-to-death. This piece offers nothing new to the genre. (Or the viewer). It is common and cliché. The only good thing about this waste of time and money was the scenery. The best advice is to turn it on, leave and go to the bookstore and buy a good romance novel, have dinner, and come home just in time to watch the predictable ending. You won't have missed anything worthwhile and you'll actually have something entertaining to read instead of wasting time on this lightweight drivel.
I always find it suspicious when a film gets "glowing" reviews but a mediocre viewer rating. Makes me question whether some of the "reviews" are actually being written by people involved with the production who are padding these glowing reviews...
