Not going to lie, reading this typecasting theme for the first time gave me hives. It is a brilliant theme, don’t get me wrong, but it also expects some serious thinking. I had to ask Brittani for help because this typecasting thing was for some reason very difficult for me. Even now I’m not sure […]
Thursday Movie Picks: Rivalry
For some reason, even though it’s such a wide theme, I was having a bit of a hard time this week. I thought long and hard what kind of route I wanted to take with this topic, which angle I should have chosen and I ended up with three very similar movies – all feature […]
Blogathon: White Swan, Black Swan
Sati over at Cinematic Corner started a new blogathon called White Swan, Black Swan and it embodies the idea of duality embedded into a single character. In other words, a character who has different sides to him or her, a character that might seem white to others but is actually black under the surface. An […]
Darren Aronofsky and I are connected
About four years ago, since most of the things that happened in my life came with the life-changing moment of starting University, I had a friend who loved movies.

Story itself supports it and together they allow viewers to have a great experience with this one. And in addition, you really […]
# 89 – Black (red&white) Swan
It has been a while since I’ve done any posts about posters, probably because there haven’t been any I’ve totally fallen in love with.. but then came Black Swan. Absolutely loved the trailer and now they came out with 4 posters, each one of them better than the other. I like the colors, I like […]
# 64 – Black Swan
Remember Requiem for a Dream or The Fountain? (I’m naming those because I’ve seen them, but there is also Pi and The Wrestler). Well, Darren Aronofsky is back and he’s bringing swans to the screen. Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder are just some of the names that appear in this movie […]
