I was enchanted by this movie. From the music to the singing vikings to the drunk old man this movie will keep you smiling the entire way
through.

Black Swan
So this weekend a good friend and I went to go see Natalie Portman in Black Swan. I was blown away.It is very hard to sit through a movie like this and not be enthralled.
The whole movie you are wondering what the heck is going on and what Natalie in imagining and what is actually happening.
Now...this movie is not for everyone. If you get squeamish during awkward sex scenes or you get scared when impossible things start happening...this movie may not be for you. But to me is was amazing to dive into someones head who, her whole life, had been obsessed with her body, her face, her complection.....her need to "be perfect".
Mila Kunis plays her opposite...in every way. And she is amazing as well.
Go see this. You will be amazed! But like I said...be open minded...and carefully chose who you see it with.

Eat. Pray. Love.
So I had sworn that I would not watch this movie because I heard that it was just about a whiney woman who needed to find herself through Travel...but I got in the travel mood and thought...what the heck. 
My friends were not wrong though. Throughout the whole movie you are wondering why she is so miserable... though travel is wonderful and will show you so many things about yourself... she went about "finding herself" the wrong way. 
If you want to find yourself...you don't need to meditate and sit in silence...why? Because all you do is sit and think about yourself. Why not get up...be thankful for what you have and go help people who do not have anything. You want to "find yourself"...go and be selfless and help the helpless! Serve! Love on those around you! Go play with orphans! Love on your husband! Love on your family! Go clean up a HWY! Go be a candy striper at a hospital or nursing home! Go deliver flowers to families in need!
When you serve...it forces you to think beyond yourself! And thus...you are no longer thinking about "me, myself, and I".
But I did like the end of the movie...when she selflessly asked for help for the medicine woman and opened herself up for love. The ending was great and so was the scenery. Can't get any better than Italy, India, and Bali!
