The original Tron remains one of my favourite movies from childhood – in my heart, at least. I re-watched it a few years ago, and saw from an adult perspective that, as unique as the story was, there was something missing behind all the special effects.

Finding an audience for a film like Black Swan is difficult for two reasons. First, it's about the ballet, which is enjoyed and understood by a relatively small portion of the population. Second, it's about the ballet, which men tend to avoid completely.
Director Darren Aronofsky has created a film that conquers both problems - Black Swan makes the ballet accessible, interesting, and for the male (and female) audience, downright sexy.

If you remember the guitar bits from my show ALL THE RAGE, you know this is exactly what I was talking about.
