2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   Darren Aronofsky floods my top 5 list once more- this time with The Wrestler. Being a huge fan of Aronofsky’s work, I knew I had to see this one. I was sad to see it didn’t have the same artsy and experimental feel as his other works, but The Wrestler was still outstanding. Mickey Rourke has the biggest comeback of the decade (or should I say last decade since it’s 2010 now) as he plays his role perfectly.

10. Film

    Perfect 5.0

    Darren Aronofsky, director of Pi and Requiem for a Dream, doesn’t use his same style here. If you’ve seen Pi or Requiem for a Dream or even The Fountain, you wont necessarily be dissapointed, but you’ll ask yourself why this feels more like a mainstream movie rather than an artsy movie. While it may be hard to get over the big change, the movie overall is beyond perfect, and I’m excited for Darren’s upcoming film, Black Swan.

16. Edge

    Horrid 3.9

    There is a pretty intense sex scene, and there is a scene where he is wrestling in barbed wire.

18. Violence Savage 4.5

19. Rudeness Profane 3.1

21. Reality

    Natural 1.0

    One thing I love about Aronofsky’s work, is tat all of his films are true to life, wheather people want to believe that or not, since his films depict the grimmer side of life.
