WOW this movie was phenomenal. Terrifying, thrilling, dark, and haunting.

Everything I usually dislike in a movie, but I have to admit this one is a winner.

I decided to go see Black Swan tonight after all the hype with it being nominated, and Natalie Portman winning the Golden Globe. Originally I was too scared to see it (not the scary movie type), but I decided I would give it a shot and see what all the talk was about.

The story line was obviously interesting, but I think another aspect that caught my attention and pulled me in was the dancing and the dynamic world of dance. I used to dance ballet seriously in high school and so many memories came rushing back to me as I watched this film.

Everything about this movie was intense from the very beginning scene until the very end. Well done, Natalie Portman! Magnificent performance. Bravo.
