Kevin reviews the sci-fi film adaptation of the book. He also digs into some quick Black Panther commentary, because it's so good that it doesn't need his review.

Movie Review: Black Swan (2011)

by Peggy Christie

Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman having sex. AKA Black Swan.

Natalie plays Nina, a delicate, sensitive, and brilliant ballerina who, like most every other ballerina in the world, wants to be the Swan Queen in Swan Lake. She’s perfect for the White Swan, the sweet and loving ‘good’ character that’s trapped in a swan’s body, just waiting for her prince to come and break the spell. She’s not so perfect for the Black Swan, the character that tricks the prince into giving his love to her and not the White one.

You see, the Black Swan is seduction, passion, chaos, letting go – all the things that Nina is not. But the director of the ballet company gives her a shot in hopes that she can find that part of herself that can create both good and bad, or White and Black.

Movie Review: Brothers (2010)

When I originally saw trailers for this movie, I was intrigued. On the surface, the story seems simple. A man goes off to war and is presumed to have been killed. His brother falls in love with his wife. He returns and is angry. Shit hits the fan. In essence, this assumption is right, but Brothers is so much more than that.

Buy Brothers on DVD and Blu-ray

Tobey Maguire is decorated Marine Captain Sam Cahill, complete with a great family that includes a wife, Grace, portrayed by Natalie Portman, and two young daughters. He is getting ready to head back to Afghanistan for another tour of duty. The day before, he picks up his troublemaker brother Tommy, portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal, from jail. The two catch up, and the entire family gathers for a goodbye dinner. While stepmom is happy to see everyone together again, dad decides to shame his criminal son with his brother's accomplishments. Of course, that doesn't go well. The next day, Sam heads off and ends up in a helicopter over Afghanistan. Enemy fire comes in, and all are presumed dead. Upon hearing the news, the remaining family adjusts, and brother Tommy takes an active role in the family as any good uncle would. He cleans up his act, and he and Grace become close. I won't reveal the extent of the relationship.
