Black Swan Darren Aronofksy’s Black Swan opened in only 2 theaters in the Los Angeles area last weekend. Luckily, TCR was able to snag tickets and view what we believe to be one of 2010’s best films. After great success on a smaller level Black Swan opens this weekend to the masses and we urge you to witness this captivating narrative…See More

The Town So it seems the Chocolate Review has been on a bit of a hiatus. We hope you’ve recuperated from the lack luster summer movie season. Lord knows we’re still trying to forgive. After Salt poured salt on our already existing deep wounds we just couldn’t take the abuse…See More

After viewing Philip Noyce’s Salt starring the incomparable Angelina Jolie the Chocolate Review was left with several questions like, “Why didn’t we go see Inception for the third time?” and “What could I possibly say to this theater manager that would inspire him to hand over a full refund?”I guess we’ll begin by telling you what was good about this film before we flood you with our…See More

Inception Back in 2009 when we first heard the film’s premise, we knew that Inception would be a force of its own.

Sex and The City 2 There are two reasons women flock to see a Sex And The City Flick. One, we want a reason to get dolled up and wear twelve hundred dollar shoes to a movie about women who do nothing but get dolled up and wear twelve hundred dollar shoes. Also, we want to live…See More

After eagerly awaiting the release of Fox Searchlight’s Just Wright The Chocolate Review found itself unexpectedly let down by a film that seemed like it couldn’t lose. We went into Just Wright wanting to fall in love with everything about it. Instead we left the theatre feeling Just Wrong about all our high expectations.Directed by Sanaa Hamri, Just Wright tells the story of Leslie…See More

Iron Man 2 Iron Man 2 is a legit, full force action film that was well worth the wait. Though it fell slightly short of the hype, it secured its place in our hearts as the best action film of the year (thus far). Ekemini and I differ in opinion in regards to whether this installment of…See More
