Things that are a bad idea: watching The King's Speech immediately after watching Black Swan. The fast paced insanity of Black Swan was dragged down by the stuttering, stammering Colin Firth. After sitting through the first half hour I just wanted to shout T-t-t-t-t-today junior! Don't get me wrong, Firth's performance was incredible and will definitely give Jesse Eisenberg a run for his money for this year's Best Actor, but the film just needed more of a lively feel. Though I love Helena Bonham Carter, her role was definitely not worthy of Best Supporting Actress and her character could have played a much bigger role. Geoffry Rush had a nice yet not incredibly boundary-pushing performance. And while many of the shot angles were very different and beautiful, this film was probably my biggest disappointment. It was definitely the one I was looking forward to most and then it didn't live up to its hype. How rude!

Overall a decent film, but not Best Picture worthy and certainly not as strong as some of its opponents (cough Black Swan cough).

Black Swan

It's been quite some time since I've seen a truly surprising piece of art on screen. While there have been some great movies this year — Inception, The Social Network, Easy A (and I stand by that one) — there is simply no comparison. The technique and premise that director Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream) used to lay out the simple concepts of obsession and the dangers of perfection was shockingly beautiful to behold. The majority of the film was graphic, gruesome and highly disturbing, but it was done with such beauty that I didn't once fully look away. After hearing about her performance from practically everyone who had already seen the film, Natalie Portman did not disappoint. Her transformation to utter insanity was deliciously perfect.

Everything in this film (ironically) was done to perfection. The themes were not force fed to the audience, but rather offered in brief tastes that left me yearning for more. Though I already made my predictions earlier, I take back my Best Picture vote and instead offer it to this work of cinematic excellence. But PLEASE don't take my word for it. It doesn't matter if you don't like scary movies or whatever your excuse may be, make an exception.
