First of all, I would like to make it clear that this post is totally from my personal point of view. I paid for the ticket myself (not being sponsored like others) and I am entitled for my comments. As soon as I finished watching this movie, I tweeted some of my review on Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa, some of my friends agreed with it while there are a number of them did not. One even said that if I had so much to say on that movie, maybe I should make my own film. Which is totally nonsense; if I am a movie producer, I might produce a film. However, I am not. It’s like saying a carpenter should be a businessman, while the businessman should be a carpenter.

Truth to be told, I dozed off few minutes during the first half of the movie; and I rarely dozed off while watching a movie. (This is the second time and the first time was while watching Underdog Soldier). All in all, the CGI effects are commendable, worth the 8 million spent to make the movie. However, the overall film is a little bit gloomy and uninspired, apart from the fighting scenes. The details from the CGI are washed out by the gloominess of the color of the film.

Now you can actually buy a breast milk ice cream! Yes, the real breast milk. It was donated by 15 women and each serving will only cost you $22.50. The product, unmistakenly named after Lady Gaga was called Baby Gaga dessert went on sale at an ice cream parlour, Icecreamists in Covent Garden, London in February. It was sold out only hours after it went on sale. Rumors have it, there were up to 200 women had already asked whether they can donate their own breast milk for the making of ice cream.

Unfortunately, the local authority had siezed the ice cream for health and safety check. Breast milk could carry viral infections, including hepatitis. However, the manufacturers said that they used the same screening procedures as blood donation centres or milk banks in London.

One of the best films I have watched in quite some times. The storyline was quite simple; a journey of a ballet dancer to perform a perfect dance as a Swan Queen. She has to be a White Swan and the Black Swan. The only problem was that she is the perfect fit for a White Swan, but still hasn’t found her darker side.

In her pursue of becoming a Black Swan, she found her evil side of herself. At this point of the movie, the border line between reality and hallucination blurred out. Natalie Portman is such an amazing actress. Although you can see how old she is, the fragile part of being a White Swan delivered well. The Black Swan’s side only can be seen at the end of the movie, and she excelled that part perfectly too.

All in all, the movie was mesmerizing, with few scenes injected some of the eerie feeling into the audiences. Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel and Natalie Portman delivered well throughout the movie. A must watch. I gave Black Swan 4.5/5 stars.
