Boring, Predictable, and Depressing

Rating: 2/10 (4 January 2011)

Wife and I neither one like to go to the movies alone, so I drag her along to movies like "The Expendables" and she drug me along to "Black Swan". Pretty much what I expected, skinny girls spinning on their toes, driven too hard, leading to a predictable ending. Good acting.... Why I gave it an extra star. Lots of ballet. Lots of scenes where you can't tell if it's really happening or not, and lots of painful look closeups of Natale Portmans face. Decided to see it against my better judgement by the glowing reviews but it is a movie about Ballet, Swan Lake, and Ballerinas .... Duh! ... I'm going to make my wife watch "Machete" to get even with her.
