The Wrestler

*** Sorry folks, I need to make a scheduling change here. Hopefully the change won't effect your plans. I'm changing the start time to 7 PM, and the show start time to 7:50 PM***

A perfect match of script and actors ? Hmmmm ... well if you've seen the trailer, you'll agree
that this may be the best ( most perfect ? ) film to come along in years.

( From the Alamo Website ).

"A kind of harmonic convergence of player and part that happens once in a blue moon- the actor vanishing so completely inside a role that our sense of his "real" identity is permanently altered."
- David Ansen, Newsweek

"Aronofsky keeps his camera steadily on his star, knowing that Rourke brings everything the movie needs - himself, and his intimate knowledge of failure. It's one of the decade's great performances."
-Ron Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

This may be the first time we've ever seen the toughest critics and fans unanimously deem a new film perfect. With his battle scars and failing heart, retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) jumps back into the squared circle to prove to himself that he's more than just a used-up piece of meat. A simple premise, but apparently Rourke's performance and the script are so strong, compelling and real that audiences across the world are going haywire, calling this the best film in the critically acclaimed director's entire career. There hasn't been a new American drama this exciting since the WWF was king!

Thanks to Andrea for some great input on planning this event.

Hope you can make it.
