Don't call it a comeback

The Wrestler has a strange subject matter, but it's Mickey Rourke's performance that really makes this movie soar. The supporting cast is also incredible but Mr. Rourke's portrayal makes his character universal to everyone, not just wrestling fans.
I love this interview with Mickey Rourke and Charlie Rose. Mr. Rourke comes across as so honest and vulnerable, it makes me feel a great deal of respect for him. I really hope to see more work from him in the future, but word on the ethernet is that he's already on board for an Iron Man sequel and is getting flack for being a sell-out. I'll wait and see for myself.
