The Fighter. Wife has owned it on DVD for a long time but she never watched it. I felt like watching it again. Gonna watch it together now, if only for Bales performance.

Re: What movies are you watching?
mark was bad in the fighter. He doesn't show any emotional depth. Imagine a good actor in this role. We decided not to finish it and watch the wrestler instead, which was so good in every way. I teared up a couple of times. It's like, isn't this how sacrifice to the public works? It's better to sacrifice yourself for an individual who loves you than a fan base.
