The Wrestler by the DVD Man

The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke as an old broken down professional wrestler is a very interesting and very watchable movie.

Most of the wrestling scenes made me laugh because it brought back memories of when I was growing up watching wrestling every Saturday. Kenji Shibuya, Pat Patterson, Ray "Everyone is a pencil-neck" Stevens, Bearcat Wright, etc. They had the classic fake wrestling moves down pat.

Marisa Tomei is very sexy as a stripper that has sympathy for Randy the Ram.

Why is it that every movie or TV show I watch has hospital scenes lately? Did they always have them or am I just noticing them more lately because I was in the hospital for 4 days last month? It's very weird. I guess I'll have to make that something to watch for now in movies. A new category! I'm also adding Sports as a category.

Best line as Randy is on the pay phone canceling his upcoming matches: "Hey Frank". Perfect - a new Frank category - Payphone Frank.
