All Gods go to heaven.

The superhero genre has shot to the forefront of modern day cinema over the past decade and this year certainly isn’t going to put a stop to that trend.

In 2011 there will be Thor, Captain America, X-Men: First Class and The Green Lantern. Thor was released first, outside of the summer blockbuster period, which was strange as it had the look and feel of a summer hit. The CGI, the action, the thumping music, Anthony Hopkins; what more could it need?

More speeches from The King's Speech.

Well the Oscars are done, dusted and polished for another year and it was certainly one to remember for the British contingent. Unfortunately for us Brits though, many couldn’t watch it as it happened because it was on Sky Movies. So we had to make do with the highlights a day later on the newly named Sky Living. Not sure what this channel is about yet; it’s replaced Living, or Dead as I call it, after Sky purchased the group sometime last year.

When the BAFTAs were shown on the BBC, there was an hour delay for some unknown reason, which was problematic as it could be ruined somehow by winners getting revealed to you before Auntie Beeb showed you. This problem was solved simply by a mobile phone, Facebook and Twitter blackout. The Oscars wouldn’t be as simple.

The not so Ugly Duckling.

Now, I went to see Black Swan the other day and I’m finding it harder than usual to give this one a score. It’s one of the better tough decisions to have to make however. It’s not like I’m trying to decide to give it one star or two!

Black Swan is what you’d probably call a dramatic thriller. It’s creepy, intoxicating, sexy, powerful and at times breathtaking. It has its jumpy moments, its touching moments and its just plain creepy moments.
