Black Swan, Harry Potter 7, and Inception. What do these have in common? These are the best films that I have seen in all of 2010. Black Swan was simply an incredible movie. For those who are unknown about the movie, the synopsis is that a ballet dancer is trying to overacheive herself to get perfect for the role of the black/white swan for "Swan Lake". But the constant stress being put upon herself is making her dillusional, thinking that her spot is trying to be taken and thinking that she sees physical pain like cuts and blood and bumps on her body. There's certainly more to the film and I don't want to spoil any of it.

At first, my brother invited me to see this movie. Even though I never heard of it or knew what it was about, I decided to check it out. And let me just say that it was two hours well spent. The thriller aspects of the movie really work and there were even a few points that made me cringe (but not in a bad way). The acting is also superb thanks to people like Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. The delivery is powerful and certainly very beleivable. The setting of the film is something I wouldn't expect myself to watch, but it proved me wrong. But seriously, this is an incredible movie. Any fan of thrillers and dramas, or for people that want to see something new, should consider seeing this. 4 Stars.

*P.S. write down if you can also find the Siskel and Ebert reference.
