    The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

    ★★★

    The anime style is not excellent, but pretty good. 

    The stories a bit ham handed. 

    It steals too many lines and concepts from the originals, unnecessary fan service. It’s like a mashup of Denethor-Faramir, Theoden-Rohan, Theoden-Theodred. The oliphaunts. 

    There’s not much original in this. Animation is cool. Overall ok. Just could’ve been better.

  • Black Swan

    Black Swan

    ★★★★½

    The first bit of this is very well done. Great acting from Natalie Portman. Her dancing - at least to a non dancer like me - is convincing. The settings have great tone and the camerawork is crisp. 

    The mom is a psycho.

    The director is a psycho. 

    Mika Kunis seems crazy. 

    Portman goes full on crazy. Kind of American Psycho but ballet dancers. There are 2 of her. White swan: perfect but held back by a lack of passion.…

    ★★½

    Comic booky dystopian action movie. Violent. Dark and gritty. Some fun scenes and well constructed images. It’s like Robocop + Matrix + 300. Story is kinda dumb.

    A more fun film than I expected (I just didn’t know much about it). So much of a Star Wars (esp. Han Solo and Jabba) borrow conceptually from this. Glad I finally watched it.
