The Wrestler

This is the newest movie by the Director of Pi and Requiem for a Dream, Darren Aronofsky. In this film Aronofsky strays away from the surreal and focuses on the real. This is a documentary style drama about what could have happened to Hulk Hogan( in stead his son is a convicted felon, his Daughter is an unsuccessful pop singer and his wife left him...so, i guess he's on top of the world.), its a documentary style piece which adds to the whole character study.

I don't know about you but i find that at times character studies get s tedious and boring like say one hour photo (...NOT a horror movie!!!!11). However in this film Mickey Roke and Marisa Tomei keep their performances fresh and energetic. This was in part due to Aronofsky not rehearsing the actors and letting them improvise when they felt necessary.

all this really does is make me want to see Aronofsky's version of Robocop!!!!!

Synecdoche, New York

Ok I think this film is clearly a test. and it tests to see if you are a true Kaufman fan. This film is what happens when Charlie Kaufman gets to work alone and seems to have a limitless budget. Its a little weak in the ending but the visuals will stay with you. like all Kaufman films this movie is about a man who isn't happy so he begins to pull at the layers that make up his life and finds only more layers at which to pull at.

a must see weather you rent it or see it in the theaters, i would suggest the theater due to the stunning visual effects used.

on a personal note i think that there is a little too much screen time for the poo and other bodily fluids, and they are not even in there for shock value.

Fears of the Dark

I was torn about this movie, but in the end I fond that is was in fact awesome. However it was over hyped. There were only two really scary shorts and in classic french fashion it was too long and hardly made sense. I wouldn't waste my time try to see this in theater, besides this type of film is best enjoyed alone in the dark. So just wait for the dvd so you can skip to the scary shorts and by pass the nonsense.
