Well before it was released, Darren Aronofsky’s thriller Black Swan received a truckload of buzz online due to reports of a love scene between stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.

Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis make out and stuff. Go see it. Read about it in my review of Black Swan.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a good killer shark movie (Deep Blue Sea? I said “good,” not “great.”), and veteran genre director David R. Ellis (Final Destination 2, Snakes on a Plane, The Final Destination) is out to rectify that. He’s got a shark flick in the can, and guess what? It’s in 3-D!
