Wrasslin'
Wow, The Wrestler looks really, really good. I'm not sure if it's because of Darren Aronofsky, Mickey Rourke's Oscar-buzzed performance, or the subject matter (I was a big WWF nerd in the 80s), but I really want to see this. I heard it made "Rowdy" Roddy Piper cry or something. That's good enough for me. I hope this comes to Raleigh soon, because I'd actually leave my house to (gasp!) see this movie in the theater. I'm also curious about Valkyrie, the Bryan Singer Nazi movie, although I don't know why Tom Cruise can't pretend to have a German accent. Seems like him sounding like a regular, old American would shatter the suspension of disbelief I'm supposed to have about him being a Nazi. If he couldn't handle the accent, why didn't they get another actor? Like, maybe a German actor who speaks German. Ok, maybe this movie doesn't look so hot. I'll just go watch The Pianist again instead.
