Swag's cool movie: The Wrestler


By Swag - Posted on 14 January 2009

Yes, it is that time again. While only a select few of you were smart enough to see JCVD, I now present a movie that will probably appeal to more people. Some of you may have heard of this movie already, like how Mickey Rourke just won a Golden Globe award for best actor.

The Wrestler

No, it's not a sports movie.

It's also by one of my favorite directors, Darren Aronofsky!

Since this thread is pretty far back, I won't bother writing up a long review for this movie.

My unbiased review would be 4.5/5 paws, but since we don't have that denomination, and I as am biased towards this movie (because it's about a wrestler and it's made by an excellent aforementioned director), I give it a:

Excellent acting (Mickey Rourke especially), very plausible and interesting plot. Highly recommended.

I have this at home on my server. I was actually planning on watching it this weekend.

Plus, it's gotta be good if it won the Golden Tomato award: Best Drama

JDVC got 3rd in Action, btw.

None of these beats the glory of Wall-E though, but thats ok.

I'll try to remember to put up a review of it after I watch it.
