Go see "The Wrestler"

Talk about anything but golf! Favorite TV show, worst poker hand, home improvement, no topic is taboo! Well, some topics might be. Let's try and keep it PG-13.

Go see "The Wrestler"

If you do nothing else this year, as far as movie viewing, go see The Wrestler. I saw it about 2 weeks before the Globes and I can not begin to describe how great Mickey Rourke is in this film. I won't compare it to Rocky or other films like critics have but I will say this......THIS is Rourke's "Rain Man" role and very few actors have ever TRIED "Rain Man" roles and even fewer yet have pulled them off.

The film is spectacular but Rourke steals the show. He deserves EVER accolade that he gets for this role.

I might tray and make it out for this. I've been thinking of watching "Grand Tourino" but I'll see if I can fit this one in too.

If you consider yourself in any way a Marisa Tomei fan, this fim is a must see!!

Tom, do you really think these forums are the best place to display your Mickey Rourke "man crush"?

I think there is NO better place to unveil my man crush on a guy with a punchy "play-dough" face and a voice that could scratch razor blades.

Better not tell Julie ha ha ha.

I saw the trailer for this movie. Rourke looks like a comic book character. His face looks like an over bloated version of itself. Is he OK? or is that just the make-up for this particular role?
