It’s finally happening today!

Black Swan at 8:00 PM!

I’ve got a bit of a problem with this Edward Zwick film. It just isn't sitting right with me.

Is it because of him or just bad directing? Or did you actually watch the movie and realized it’s garbage?

John Thomas25 said:Is it because of him specifically, or just the genre? Maybe you actually watched it and didn't like it?

It's because of Zwick. He's the director behind several terrible movies.

I'm totally with you on this. But honestly? This one is actually a pretty decent romantic comedy/drama mix. I mean, as far as rom-coms go, it’s just your run-of-the-mill, middle-of-the-road flick, and the dramatic beats? Not exactly groundbreaking. Plus, Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hathaway are perfectly fine in their roles, though let's be real—she is absolutely stunning.

John Thomas25 said:I completely agree. This one is just a decent romantic comedy/drama. Honestly, it’s pretty average for a rom-com, and the dramatic beats aren't even all that great. Plus, Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hathaway are perfectly fine—though she is absolutely stunning.

Look, I’ll give it a shot, but only because it has an R rating.

He got what was coming to him 🙂

How on earth does The Show Must Go On only have one single screening?

Jerry Adams71 said:Wait, how can they say "the show must go on" if there's only one screening?

There were actually two—one last night at 7 PM and another tonight at 9 PM.
Anyone catch it yet? What did you think?
