A bulked-up Mickey Rourke, a bratty Evan Rachel Wood and a lap/pole dancing half-naked Marisa Tomei?

What's not to like about "The Wrestler"?

And did we mention some of the most gruesome wrestling scenes ever seen?

What do you think? Will you go see Mickey Rourke's new film?

Check out this gallery for a look at the many faces of Mickey Rourke.

Is Evan Rachel Wood dropkicking Marilyn Manson for Mickey Rourke?

Marisa Tomei Nude! Thats all I needed to go see this movie, but you know, the film doesn't look bad either, so I guess it's a win-win situation ; )


This may be the first time in my life I was almost brought to tears by a freaking preview.

Not a wrestling fan, but the fact that Rourke's performance is able to shine that much in a 2 minute clip says a lot.

And that song...

If Springsteen doesn't win the Best Original song for this movie, then there is something seriously wrong with the Academy. Goodness...


Yes, Rourke for best actor, an iconic performance. And at least a nomination for the movie, director and screenplay.
