this is like a 70's or 80's movie, like serpico or rocky by ironic_name	Sep 6th, 2008 01:46:56 PM
so it makes sense the wrassler would be very egalitarian in tone.
Why should Aronofsky have Requiem's style in every film? by TerryMalloy	Sep 6th, 2008 01:48:22 PM
He obviously chose his visual approach for the film based on what they story suggested to him, and not what this reviewer wanted him to do.
glad they didn't get cage to do this by ironic_name	Sep 6th, 2008 01:49:31 PM
that would have ate shit.

Haven't even seen The Fountain yet either. Pretty confident in Aronofsky's work. - GS
Cindawrestler Man by Magic Rat	Sep 6th, 2008 03:36:57 PM
this seems almost exactly like Cindarella Man, just without the great depression.
Will Rourke finally get his Oscar? by MetalMickey	Sep 6th, 2008 03:45:38 PM
This might turn out to be one weird-ass awards season: nods to Mickey Rourke, Jean-Claude Van Damme, & a possible Best Pic nomination for a Batman movie.

VanDamme getting an award nod? by Chewbaccalypse Now	Sep 6th, 2008 06:39:35 PM
For what? Double Impact?
The Fountain was Fan-Freakin-tastic. Who hates on it? by Stormwatcher	Sep 6th, 2008 06:46:03 PM
What were they expecting? The cast of friends dancing in it? Seriously, I love that movie, its like a personal, cherished memory that I'll revisit on winter days where its too cold to go out or I am too sick to do anything.
Robocop? - Believe it when I see it... by ElvisPresLeeHorsleyHarveyOswaldO prahWinFreeJackHorkheimer	Sep 7th, 2008 01:29:28 AM
I'm pretty sure his next film is "The Fighter"
The Set-Up? by VoxMillennium	Sep 7th, 2008 04:38:30 AM
Sounds like Robert Wise's brilliant "The Set-up" with Robert Ryan as a washed up boxer getting ready for a last fight. If you haven't seen it, do it, especially as it has been released with Scorcese on the commentary track.
1st American director to win this Honor solo..... by debrislide	Sep 7th, 2008 05:05:41 PM
Without tying with another film. Only two other american directors have won the honor. John Cassavetes (Gloria) and Robert Altman (shortcuts) both had to share. Rock on Darren.
