I saw The Wrestler earlier today. Ooh.. hang tight I'll do this official like:
THE WRESTLER
It was mediocre. Very dark. Extremely depressing. Almost gets heart warming, and then kinda gets depressing again. There was one really funny scene, but it didn't make up for the 444 extremely depressing ones. Hollywood ending. Pretty wack overall... I have pretty high standards for movies these days though.... On the other hand I did also recently see:
WE OWN THE NIGHT
Eva Mendes is so beautiful that it hurts my heart every time I see her. This movie is also dark but in a much more plot filled way. The box sums it up as such: "Two brothers on opposite sides of the law. Beyond their differences lies loyalty." That's pretty much it. It gets truly intense as the two brothers' worlds collide. On another note, the interaction between Joaquin Phoenix and Eva Mendes is believable and beautiful... right from the very first scene. Watch it.
