Movies

If you're a mat fan, "The Wrestler" is absolutely a must see movie. The business has never been shown so accurately and Mickey Rourke really is very, very good as washed up grappler Randy "the Ram" Robinson.
It's Rourke's show all the way as the battered and bruised Robinson struggles with both his shipwrecked career and his decimated personal live.
Maria Tomei, showing a lot more flesh than you might expect, is also good, but as I said earlier, Rourke's the main eventer.
The behind the scenes wrestling stuff is priceless. Lots of sharp details and a great feel for the business.
I recommend this highly.
