Black Swan Blu-ray Disc Review

Director Darren Aronofsky’s entire filmmaking career has been leading to the creation of Black Swan. It’s a dark, metaphysical drama that fuses the conceptual gymnastics of his earlier work with the gritty, real style of the film that directly preceded it, The Wrestler. …Continued…

Black Swan Blu-ray officially announced

Well, I have to say that I’m disappointed that Black Swan didn’t pick up a few more golden statues at the Academy Awards last night. I don’t really put much stock in award programs but I’m such a fan of director Darren Aronofsky and would love to see him recognized for the work he does. There’s little hope that his next film, The Wolverine, will receive any accolades beyond those showered on him by X-Men fans, elated that he will have rescued the franchise from sequel hell, so it’s a real shame that Black Swan lost out (not to diminish Natalie Portman‘s Best Actress award or anything). I’m very pleased, though, that Fox has finally announced the release of the film on Blu-ray. …Continued…

Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream coming to Blu-ray in September

I’m a big fan of Darren Aronofsky. I’ve loved every single one of his films so far, despite any flaws they may exhibit. I think he’s a true auteur, working toward a masterpiece. His last film, The Fountain was a mess in a lot of ways. But really, what glorious, visionary mess it was! I love it on Blu-ray. My only wish is that Warner had included the commentary track he had recorded for the film. What a shame. I’m glad Aronofsky made it available online, complete with visual cue to sync it to the film as it plays.

Requiem for a Dream is probably the film Aronofsky is known best for. It brought him a lot of acclaim at the time of release and it’s become somewhat of a cult film since. I’m really excited to see it on Blu-ray. Here’s hoping that Lionsgate does right by it! …Continued…
