Darren Aronofsky was originally chosen to direct this second Wolverine solo outing but had to drop out due to travel restraints. Instead, James Mangold was brought in to helm this thrilling adventure as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was the fish-out-of-water that the series needed. Set for the majority of the runtime in Japan, and with an exciting action sequence set atop a bullet train, The Wolverine was a reasonable return to form for the X-Men solo movies.

"I loved this film! I really like the films of the Dardenne Brothers, like The Child and The Son, and I’m sure The Wrestler was influenced by the Dardennes, especially in the beginning when the camera is following the back of Mickey Rourke‘s head through the hallways. I know Darren Aronofsky a little bit, and I remember meeting with him just when The Fountain was coming out, and he told me to look at the Dardenne Brothers because they were doing some really good stuff, so I know he’s a fan."

I rewatched this movie for the first time since it came out in theaters. Once again, I was struck by the way Darren Aronofsky twists your mind around when telling a story. In a way, Black Swan reminded me of the Satoshi Kon film “Perfect Blue,” inasmuch as you, the audience is unsure of what is real, and how much is the result of our unstable protagonist, Nina.

In many ways, Nina’s story mirrors that of Swan Lake, except all the characters are parts of herself. Repressed by an overbearing mother and sexually frustrated, she embodies the white swan—and it’s only by releasing her sexual self, the black swan, that she can truly be free.

Twisted Swan
Black Swan- is a excellent psychological horror thriller. Darren Aronofsky does a excellent job playing the views minds. Natalie Portman does a excellent job.

The plot: Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina whose passion for the dance rules every facet of her life. When the company's artistic director decides to replace his prima ballerina for their opening production of "Swan Lake," Nina is his first choice. She has competition in newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis) however. While Nina is perfect for the role of the White Swan, Lily personifies the Black Swan. As rivalry between the two dancers transforms into a twisted friendship, Nina's dark side begins to emerge.

Its a excellent film and a must watch.

Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em
Palpably insane fantasy psycho-horror from Darren Aronofsky that seems intentionally designed to alienate and repel mainstream audiences. The presence of Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem seems calculated to lure in innocent passersby for this unhinged tale of... of...

Well, look, Lawrence and Bardem live in a lovely house in the countryside; he is a noted poet, she is his wife, and to begin with all is well. Then mysterious strangers start appearing and dark events threaten to disrupt their idyll. Things get extreme. At points they get extremely extreme.

If this movie was your pet it would attack your furniture and howl at the moon, then fetch you your slippers with a 'who, me?' look on its face. If you're a stickler for things like naturalism and coherence, then it is probably not for you; but Aronofsky creates the fractured sense of living through an unfolding nightmare, with all the non-logic that suggests, rather well, and the stars are all on full power. It's still very nearly the proverbial movie with something to offend everyone, but you can't fault the technical expertise with which it has been made, or the director's success in realising his (highly peculiar) vision for the film.

To be fair to them, it was a very difficult film to market. Not sure what else they could have done.

Yes, hard to say what it is about without giving it all away.

I was pretty excited about seeing Darren Aronofsky's newest film Mother!, but honestly ended up being a total let down for me. As with any Aronofsky movie, you know you're gonna get some pretty messed up stuff and Mother! definitely delivers on that front. It's one of those movies that I can't really review or talk about without giving away major spoilers. What more can I say, hmmm? The build up good, I was enjoying that part, for it had a Rosemary's Baby vibe going on. But once the final act, or testament I should say, plays out you're able to get an understanding of what this movie was supposed to symbolize. Maybe that was what killed it for me, is every character and every little thing is very symbolic and once realized you're like, "Oh! Okay". I get it, at least I think I do, but at the end of the day, or times, just not my kind of movie.
