So, Black Swan.
Wow. Black Swan was something of a mindfuck. Yes, I just used that term, and no, I don't usually use it. But wow. Just, wow. I didn't know what I was in for when I agreed to go and see the movie with my mom. Yes, with my mom. Somewhat uncomfortable during certain parts...Anyway, I don't even know what to say about it besides the fact that she was amazing. I don't think I'd want to see it again, but it was definitely worth going to see just because it was such...a mindfuck. Yes, I said it again. But really, I don't quite know how to describe this movie. It was uncomfortable to watch but also amazing if you thought about how well Portman performed.
The other movie I recently saw was No Strings Attached.
We had wanted to go see Just Go With It but of course, that was sold out since it was opening weekend...err, opening Tuesday? Anyway, who doesn't love Jennifer Aniston? And, I used to love Adam Sandler back in his Happy Gilmore days...ah well, maybe next Optimum Card free movie Tuesday! Anyway, No Strings Attached was a really cute Rom Com. I enjoyed it although I really was not on board with the premise of the movie. I've never really liked movies or tv shows that just show mindless sex or worse, promote it. I just don't go for the idea that you should just have sex with whomever seems to be around regardless of whether you like them, just met them, etc. I always felt that it should be within a relationship of longer than a month...but then again, maybe that's just me. So, anyway, even though it was a Rom Com and you basically know how it's going to end, it really was enjoyable and well done. I ended up liking Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman's characters and was rooting for them to get together. Anyway, for free, I'll go see a movie any day. For $12, I'm not so sure...but that's why I love free movie Tuesday, I don't have to decide!
