Movies we are thankful for!

Everyone knows we love movies! Two movies of similar messages we recommend are The Wrestler and Funny People. The Wrestler is a movie we looked forward to for months. Finally, it came out and we were not disappointed! The basic plot is one about relationships and the basically shallow nature of them. Mickey Rourke is outstanding as a Wrestler who only seems to have "friends" when he is performing. Everyone seems to like him and it appears he has lots of friends, until he gets sick, then he wakes up alone in the hospital with no one there to help him. His only real friend is Marissa Tomei, who is an aging stripper (and another outstanding performance) who has similar problems with relationships. It is outstanding, and now on HBO, so you can watch it 50 times. Funny people is the same type of movie, and I am shocked it was not more popular. It is exactly the same. My favorite scene is when Adam Sandler, who thinks he is dying, finds out he is not and has no one to tell. So, he tells his housekeeper, who responds by telling him she has good news also, she just found his shirt she thought was lost. Outstanding performances throughout!
