Is anyone else as excited as me about Black Swan, the new Aronofsky movie starring Natalie Portman?
“Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side – a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.”
Besides the fact that it sounds like a thinly disguised Annabel Joseph plotline *ahem*, I am SOO excited about getting out to see this. I am all about the dancers losing their sh*t. I adore Natatlie Portman, and as if that’s not enough–VINCENT CASSEL and BENJAMIN MILLEPIED! Somebody please help me. It’s like someone took my deepest desires for a movie and splashed them onto the big screen. Oh geez, I’m hyperventilating. Here, watch the trailer while I chill down…

Oh I so want to see this too. But for the life of me I can’t figure out when it comes out for the rest of us. Apparently it’s in limited release in New York and Los Angeles right now. grrrr I hate when they tease you with a date and then when it comes out it’s a limited release.
Another trailer that just screamed Annabel to me was Cowboys and Aliens. It aired before the new Harry Potter film at the theatre I went to. It stars wait for it Harrison Ford (my middle and high school crush) and for Annabel ……. an utterly gorgeous Daniel Craig.
DANIELLLLLLLL! Yeah, I am going to be in the theater for that one too!
