(Note the rest of this post will be in red and large to get your attetntion and to assure you see this movie)Wow... I am still recovering from a movie called The Wrestler. I can't remember ever seeing a movie in the theatres and walking out as moved as I was after The Wrestler. Mickey Rourke give a performance that is undoubtedly one of the best performances in any movie ever. The way Rourke moves his body and his facial expressions tell just as much as his dialogue. The way this movie is made keeps you emotionally involved with Randy "The Ram" every step of the way. I have not screamed out for you readers to see a movie like this since Happy-Go-Lucky. I'm going to very be frank with you, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE. I believe it is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Every aspect of this movie is perfect. I don't know if I've ever seen a movie in theatres and liked it as much as I liked this. Take my advise, next weekend The Wrestler is expanding to many more theatres, don't go see My Bloody Valentine 3-D, Notorious, Hotel For Dogs, Gran Torino (which Ben overrated), Bride Wars, or the dreaded Paul Blart: Mall Cop, go see a little independent movie called The Wrestler (you'll thank me after). One more thing I want to mention is how powerful the last shot of this movie is. It's so powerful it is blog-worthy.The Wrestler is in limited release and it expands Friday January 16th
The Wrestler - 4 out of 4 (The best movie I've ever reviewed)

Hey Zach, it's Jamie. I figure I will be the first to comment on this blog. And, actually, I don't have anything to say about the movie itself as I haven't seen it yet. I rarely go to theaters, so I tend to see movies six months after everybody else on DVD. However, I think you should add a post about Milk. It is the first movie I saw in theaters for about three months, but it was a really great movie, and it deserves to be in the ranks of the movies on your blog. So if you haven't seen it you should and add a post. However, I just want to say how disappointed I was that it didn't even get any nominations for the Golden Globes.
I actually DID see Milk, like early in December I just forgot to post about it. It's not really playing anywhere now so I guess I'll make a post when the DVD comes out. I'll just give it a rating now.
