Movie Review Update: "Black Swan" is a mother's worst nightmare.

(Note: At the time of publishing this my oldest kid was barely 13.) Are you a parent? Do you love your daughter?  Then do not ever take her to see this movie.  Ever. For the record, it may be the holidays.  True, they release ballet films during the holidays, but "Black Swan" is no "dance movie." Frankly, it's not even a very good thriller.

And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night.
