The Wrestler

Whoah! I was thinking some WWF or WCW untold story...but this looks more broader and emotional. Have any of you heard of this film? This isn't just for wrestling fans it's also for general audiences.

Ive seen the trailer and it seems like a good movie. Ill probably wait for the dvd though. With the economy down, I dont watch too many movies in the theater. There has been some serious buzz about Mickey Rourke's performance in this movie.

not sure about this..

best thing may be the gratuitous nudity from marisa tomei

Very much looking forward to this movie. Darren's the man; he impressed me with Requiem, became a favorite after The Fountain and well... confused me with Pi. I'm hoping this film's a quality one, I've heard good things.

This movie was AMAZING! Rourke will win best actor this year, no doubt. He gave one hell of a performance. I heard people talking of his great acting in thsi film and thought they were referring to his physical acting in doing the moves and stuff, but he was very subtle and did most of his acting with his eyes. Aronofsky did great, he took a more subdued approach thankfully and just told the story without much style or flare like he's known for and the movie was all the better for it.

Best actor, eh. That's inspiring. Im looking forward to this.

My buddy is obsessed with her.
I'm def checking this out, looks solid.

ive watched about 45 mins worth so far, and i just have to say that this movie is AWESOME. probably the best of 2008 imo...#

and yes, marisa tomei getting her boobs out wasn't bad either...

I'm so excited for this one, it doesn't open here until 01/09, Mickey Rourke was so good in Spun, he's very talented. Deserves all the attention he's getting. 👆

Ha, k, i'll pass it on.

If BF likes it and Tex is excited to see it then by all means I going to like it.

Haven't checked my local theathers but I hope it won't be too late to catch a showing. I would hate to wait for the DVD.

Watched this yesterday morning. Good story, good pacing and Micky did a fine job playing a washout, definitely worth a watch.

My favorite movie of his is still Bar fly, if you haven't seen that, do watch it. Top notch performance there.

I just saw this today. Wasn't expect to love it but man it was absolutely stunning. One of the most effective movies I've seen about the human condition in a while and I can't believe they could tell such a compelling story revolving around a wrestler but it was great. Rourke is definitely a fave for lead actor at the Oscars IMO

Great movie

Amazing movie it really takes hold of you. Micky plays a fantastic part. He must win best actor for this.

Can't wait to see this 🙂

Such a great movie just like No Country For Old Men....

I had this movie's ending ruined for me by one of my teachers. I've been upset all day, that *****.
