The Wrestler and Religilous

Expect to see shitloads of nominations for Mickey Roarke for his performance as Randy "The Ram" Robinson. I wouldn't expect, however, to see many for the actual film, The Wrestler, which wasn't nearly as good. Don't get me wrong, as I thoroughly enjoyed it, but an anti-climactic finish left me feeling a little disappointed.

The anti-religion documentary Religilous from Bill Mahr was basically "preaching to the choir" when it comes to me, but I still think there is something for everyone to take away from it. Unless you forgot my feelings on religion, refer to this post. The film wasn't entirely original to me though, as I've read and watched plenty of stuff from Richard Dawkins. It was still very well made with plenty of interesting statistics and histories of various religions.
