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.
Se7en (1995)
Taking place in a nameless city, Se7en follows the story of
two homicide detectives tracking down a sadistic serial killer who chooses his
victims according to the seven deadly sins. Brad Pitt stars as Detective David
Mills, a hopeful but naive rookie who finds himself partnered with veteran
Detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman). Together they trace the killers
every step, witnessing the aftermath of his horrific crimes one by one as the
victims pile up in rapid succession, all the while moving closer to a gruesome
fate neither of them could have predicted.
The Maze Runner (2014)
Thomas wakes up in an elevator, remembering nothing but his
own name. He emerges into a world of about 60 teen boys who have learned to
survive in a completely enclosed environment, subsisting on their own
agriculture and supplies. A new boy arrives every 30 days. The original group
has been in "The Glade" for three years, trying to find a way to
escape through the Maze that surrounds their living space. They have begun to
give up hope. Then a comatose girl arrives with a strange note, and their world
begins to change. There are some great, fast-paced action scenes, particularly
those involving the nightmarish Grievers who plague the boys.
