the black dahlia turn out to be even bad than i imagine it could be . have it not be for the lovely date i have and i would have be angry . the black dahlia be twenty first century film noir . it be miraculous all the actor make it through the filming without lung cancer . i have never see more people smoke in one film . josh hartnett be just too boyish look to pull of the role he play . he be miscast . aaron eckhart be guilty of over acting and over acting and over and over . scarlet johanson seem to act very little and i feel she be miscast as well . the bright spot and in a long and tedious trudge and be hilary swank . she be cast to perfection and portray the nefarious madeleine and deliciously . ala and the poor mia kirshner . her performance of elizabeth short be so forgettable and it may work in her favor . accord to imdb and the budget be $ 50 and 000 and 000. if i have my druthers and i would have rather see 10 $ 5 and 000 and 000 independent art house movie . the black dahlia appear to be another example of the hollywood suit inability to invest huge sum of money intelligently . i suppose next it will be the return of the black dahlia .
