2nd movie today was the top winner at the Venice Film Festival, Darren Aranofsky's 'The Wrestler'. I was really looking forward to it as Aranofsky is one of my favourite directors and it did not disappoint. It was a much smaller, intimate film then I expected but that's not a bad thing. Mickey Rourke was phenomenal, this performance will remind everyone just how good he is and I can see an Oscar Nomination for him for this film. It didn't blow me away like I thought it would, not sure why, but it was still a great film and I look forward to seeing it again.
