BLACK SWAN APPRECIATION POST
Anyone who knows me knows I cannot stop talking about Black Swan. (Sorry!)
Without any spoilers I just want to sum it up with: great performances, beautiful cinematography and editing, great music and sound design, and gorgeous costumes. If you haven't seen it - DO IT! at least while it's still in theatres and preferably before the Golden Globes and Oscars!
Leave awesome comments about this film if you want! I dont want to write too much because I've already been hyping it up way too much so...here are some awesome stills for you to lurk!
(p.s. I can't wait for this to come out on Blu Ray!)

DAVID FINCHER APPRECIATION POST!
Last night I saw THE SOCIAL NETWORK with some friends. I went into the movie a little biased because I'm a fan of David Fincher's films. I did like it. It was definitely a very surreal movie-watching experience...seeing a film about an idea that has impacted the way society - both individuals and businesses - function. Sometimes I'd get so caught up in the film that I would forget that the site they were building on screen wasn't fictional...and that after seeing the movie I would probably go home and login to facebook. (and I did).
Aside from that, and the reason for this post, really, is that I just enjoy David Fincher's filming techniques. There is one scene, the boat-racing scene (if you've seen the film), that was really ground-breaking, in my opinion, in terms of cinematography. One of my friends that I saw the film with enlightened me about this "Tilt-Shift Photography" business. (definitely google it to see what I mean!) It makes everything infront of the lense appear as though it were a set of miniatures. I'd never heard of this technique before and it produces such an interesting effect both in stills and motion picture! The music in that scene was great (see also: the music in the entire film) and there were some really nice shot choices so, all together, a really stand-out scene. I don't know if any other director has incorporated tilt-shift filming in their films before Fincher? I tried to find out but didn't have much luck. So if you know of any other films / scenes that have used Tilt-Shift let me know!
Back to David Fincher! Again, very interesting and effective shots as usual. Fincher also has, in my opinion (or just stating the obvious), a nice use of lighting in his films.
I write posts like these with a lot of humility because I know I'm no film critic, director, writer, or anything. So to take the focus off of this semi embarrassing, rambling post - enjoy some amazing screen caps from some of my favorite Fincher films!!

INCEPTION
I've always enjoyed Christopher Nolan's films so I might be slightly biased when I say that I really enjoyed this one. There isn't much I can say to those who haven't seen it. It's really something you have to experience yourself and hopefully without any preconceptions. For those who have seen it I'd like to know: Did you like it?
How do you feel about Inception?
