MASTERPIECE

Darren Aronofsky's THE WRESTLER (****) is a masterpiece. It is perfect. That is all for now.

Lots of new stuff coming up.

It ain't freakin' playing here, at least not in the near future. :(

So, renting it is the best option I think.

Glad you loved it. Quick question: Should Mickey Rourke win best actor?

If Mickey Rourke doesn't win best actor than it will be a crime. I'll eat my shoe Werner Herzog-style.

This movie is worth a two or three hour car trip to check out. I fucking loved it.

It's expanding wider as the weeks progress; how is it not playing in TX, isn't that where you're at?

I'm from Texas, but I'm currently going to college in Indiana. I's probably playing in Indianapolis. Maybe I should go up there at some point.

Are you a film student?

Drive to Indianapolis to see The Wrestler. Hitch-hike if you got too.

Actually I'm a Professional Writing student. Basically (in case you didn't figure it out already :P), I learn EVERYTHING about writing, right down to getting books, articles, and screenplays published during college.

My specialty (and obsession, really) is reviewing movies. I love the heck out of them and see as many as I can. Keyword there is "can," though. Not much time to see stuff during the semester.

Select movies I will make time for before June:

Fanboys (I'm a Star Wars nut, so naturally I will see this)
Watchmen (Um, any reason needed...?)
Soloist
Wolverine
Star Trek
Terminator: Salvation
Up

Then in June, I'll be finished with school (read: FREE!) and able to see stuff like the freak I am. Can't wait to see all the movies from '08 that I missed.

According to the Fox Searchlight website, The Wrestler is showing in Indianapolis.

Good luck this semester.
