Randy "The Ram" Robinson was big 20 years ago in the world of wrestling. He's still competing and revered by his fans and fellow wrestlers, but a health scare forces him to re-evaluate his life and try to make stronger connections with a stripper friend and his estranged daughter.

Everything positive you've read about Mickey Rourke's performance in The Wrestler is absolutely true. He IS The Ram, both in inhabiting the character and in a reflection of his own life. You're with him in every scene (I even laughed at his Kurt Cobain crack, even though I think the 90s was one of the best decades for music). Marisa Tomei also provides great support in her role as the stripper.

The direction of the script is fantastic. I've liked Darren Aronofsky ever since π - I even liked The Fountain when many didn't - but this is his best so far.

This is a great tale of a man who is trying to work out life, but is forever feeling as though he is alone in the world. I wept, as did others in the theatre. This is cinema to be treasured.

(And, if Tomei loses the Best Supporting Actress Oscar to Penelope Cruz, I'll be doing a Ram Jam on any Academy voting member I can find!)

The documentary The Young and The Wrestlers follows a group of Canberrans with a common hobby - Professional Wrestling! The Pro Wrestling Alliance (PWA) allow themselves to be filmed in the lead up to the biggest show of the year: 'Clash in the Capital'. The film goes behind the scenes and into their world with revealing results. By day they are public servants, McDonalds employees and petrol station attendants but once a month they become their alter egos in the ring.

This documentary spans six months of their lives and contains ongoing rivalries that threaten to split PWA in half. The best part about the drama featured is that it is real. The world of wrestling can be crude, bloody and violent and while including those elements this film also deals with the real human side of these performers: from the injuries they receive inside the ring to the ones they inflict on themselves in nightclubs.

The Young and The Wrestlers gives us the real story of what it is like to be a professional wrestler in Canberra. By the end of this film you will have been won over by their story of blood, sweat, brotherhood and championship glory.
