Okay, so after 4 months of astonishing slackness i'm going to try and boot this thing up again (took me three goes to get my password correct!) since awards season is getting going with all the Venice, Toronto, London etc Film Festival line-up announcements coming thick and fast.
One of the most anticipated titles coming up (if you're me) is Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan and the trailer (out today) makes it look as great as i'd have hoped. With a cast including the disturbingly beautiful Natalie Portman, the ridiculous cute Mila Kunis, 80s elfin crush Winona Ryder and some French bloke called Vincent Cassel (coming off the awesome Mesrine films) this looks to be a winner. And Barbara Hershey is in it. First Debra Winger in Rachel Getting Married 2 years ago and now Babs. All we need is Kelly McGillis and the where-are-they-now? of 80s leading ladies will be complete.
I've also updated the trailer bar on the right with the latest trailers for a few other upcoming films, including the brilliant looking (and well buzzed) Get Low, James L Brooks' latest How Do You Know, Paul Haggis' remake of Pour Elle titled The Next Three Days, and another buzz title Love And Other Drugs.
For Black Swan check this out:

The Academy announced the recipients of this year's honorary Governor's Awards today and they include three legends.
The great Eli Wallach will be recognised. The actor is now in his 7th decade of making movies and had roles in both The Ghost Writer and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps this year. He is probably best remembered as the hapless Tuco in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (left) and as the villainous bandit in The Magnificent Seven.
