Bruce Springsteen lends his musical talents to The Wrestler with an original song for the movie. Watch clips from The Wrestler starring Golden Globe nominees Mickey Roarke and Marisa Tomei with the Golden Globe nominee for best original score.
Synopsis:
Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a 1980s-era pro wrestler, has become a burnt-out shell of his former self. After he has a heart attack during a small-time match, a doctor tells him he could die if he fights again. In an effort to build a new life, Robinson takes a job at a deli, courts an aging stripper and tries to build a relationship with his detached daughter. But the prospect of a rematch with his old nemesis, the Ayatollah, proves too tempting to resist, even if it means risking his life.
Darren Aronofsky's acclaimed new film opens in New York and LA December 17 and expands to additional cities across the U.S. and Canada through December and January.

CineMovie.TV review:
The Wrestler is truly an original film with real characters that you can reach out and touch. You feel the pain of Mickey Rourke's Ram character with his distorted face and body, reminding the viewer that this has been, has lost all his former glory as a wrestler and is alone in the world.
Mickey Rourke's captured this character so well because he has lived the "has been" status in real life. After a promising start in Hollywood, his drug abuse and antics put him in a Britney Spears downturn and Hollywood stopped calling. He took up boxing and his face is a victim of the ring.
Marisa Tomei, too, bares it all literally as a middle-aged stripper, single mom and Ram's love interest. Tomei is a beautiful woman so you don't believe at first that pimpled-faced patrons reject her because of her age but once you see her ragged and lined face in better light, it becomes a reality. Like Ram, her aging status is worn on her face and body reminding her, she too, is in a profession she won't be able to maintain for long.
Shot dogma style, the viewer gets a sense of watching a reality show with real characters and settings but the difference comes with the subtle acting performances and Darren Aronofsky's great direction.
This is filmmaking at it's best and it's rawness is something that is truly lacking in the world of pumped up cinema. A must see.

Seen the film? Post your review.THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX
Tiny and graced with oversized ears, Despereaux was born too big for his little world. Refusing to live his life cowering, he befriends a Princess named Pea and learns to read (rather than eat) books -- reveling in stories of knights, dragons and fair maidens. Banished from Mouseworld for being more man than mouse, Despereaux is rescued by another outcast, Roscuro, who also wants to hear the tales. But when the Princess dismisses Roscuro's friendship, he becomes the ultimate rat and plots revenge with fellow outsider Mig. After Pea is kidnapped, Despereaux discovers he is the only one who can rescue her...and that even the tiniest mouse can find the courage of a knight in shining armor.
Watch as Despereaux is put in the lion's den with....a cat in the above movie clip.
