Black Swan - awful !

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2011)

Black Swan is another example of the dumbing of our society. It is getting rave reviews because people are so afraid of not being cool. Many cheap scary scenes appear to be a hallucination as an afterthought. whoever wrote this script must be 10 yrs old. Natalie Portman has her usual cute little serious face and little smile as she does in all of her movies. Not too much acting on her part. Mila Kunis was her usual charming, wise-cracking self just as she is in the "70's Show"...no stretch of the imagination. -- the self-mutilation is gory and disturbing. the only standouts for me were Barbara Hershey and Wynona Ryder who are true actresses and should be the ones up for the Academy Awards. I could go on and on, but...let me say...i wasted my hard earned dollars seeing this movie and would not recommend it at all!
