Duck soup

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2011)

Everyone has posted some really good and lengthy critiques of this film, so I'll keep this short. I wasn't ready for the unintentionally funny, W-A-A-A-A-A-Y over the top, and completely silly plot twists in "Black Swan" -- I figured with all the Oscar buzz and nominations, it had to be decent. Wow.
That having been said, I have no problem with Natalie Portman's nomination because I've always felt she is a good actress, and she obviously put her heart and soul into this very physically demanding roll. I wouldn't, however, be completely shocked if Annette Benning pulls the upset on Sunday.
