Yes I know, I've barely written a damn thing as of late but hey, life's been busy and haven't had much of those thought-provoking moments that I haven't voiced out in a while. When it hits, it seems to hit pretty significantly but when there's not enough or none at all, it's best to keep quiet instead of forcing anything.
With that said, I'm in the mood for some brief movie reviews! Like some, I've seen the amazing Black Swan. I thought that, while the plot was simple on paper and it kind of felt run of the mill, where it is the most striking is how it eventually messes with your head once you see that a blur between fantasy and reality is present. Natalie Portman, by far, delivers her best performance since V for Vendetta.
Love and Other Drugs, while to some, is just another chick flick, showcases a great performance on Anne Hathaway's part. Be warned, you thought Halle Berry was revealing on Monster Ball, you ain't seen squat! Hathaway does a good delivery on portraying what seems like just a girl trying to have a good time, she hides behind it to disguise her struggle with Parkinson's. As that unveils, the guy, who seemed like he was going for the big lay, falls in love with her and discovering her disorder becomes the test to his love for her. Yes, I know, sounds like A Walk to Remember but don't worry, they don't get the same ending!
