The Black Swan : A movie I will not forget



Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Working on Riley's Ride by Joseph

Joseph : The Riley Elf is stripped. Engine and tranny still need to come out. But I have identified all of the rust. It doesn't look good. Lots of work ahead! Only two rusty bolts broke off...not too bad. Have to drill them out, I hate that. The doors need some work to open and close properly. But it will look great when I am done. Watch this post for updates...
