Black Swan
Opening Friday, “Black Swan” is so haunting, so engrossing, you might be tempted to invest it with more meaning than it warrants. With its über-creepy shock effects, swirling camerawork and Oscar-caliber performance by Natalie Portman (“Brothers”), the psychological thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky (“The Wrestler”) is a ballet/showbiz picture awash in LSD. It’s trashiness masquerading […]

Remain calm
Children coerced into good behavior by threats of a dark, meaningless Christmas in which one of God’s very own saints skips their house because he, like their parents, has had it up to here with their acting out. This season’s hottest toy squirreled away in some out-of-reach and never-seen corner of the house, possibly acquired […]
