Review: The Wrestler (2009)

Great movie peaking into a wrestlers real life.
You can find out how the real wrestling act is done. How they pre plan all the moves done in the ring. Even though all moves are planned it takes lot of skill and stamina to survive in the ring. One false move could be fatal.
Sometimes the movie was slow but the overall experience was good.

Story is about a retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" who tries to put together his shattered life.

Mickey Rourke's performance was pretty good.

Review: The Express (2008)

This movie is a excellent biographical movie about the great Syracuse University football player Ernie Davis. The movie was worth every second. If you need a inspiration for your life, this is the movie for you. The story also reflect the heavy racial tension that was around 50's and 60's in USA.
