I have seen Black Swan and I have to say that I found it...boring? Yes, boring. And predictable, and overwrought. The character of Nina was intolerable, the kind of person I wouldn't be able to spend one minute in the company of in real life. The minute it was over, I dug out my DVD of Robert Altman's The Company, to be transported into a movie ( Read more... )

Tom Hardy (Inception, Bronson) will take over Michael Fassbender's role in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. He'll play Ricky Starr, a British agent working abroad. Fassbender apparently left to star as Magneto in X-Men: First Class. (First Showing)
