The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
A Smartfan Looks at The Wrestler!!
The Kingfish Arnie Katz spent Friday evening watching “The Wrestler” Today he shares his thoughts with the vast OWW audience.
My wife Joyce and I, in company with a large number of friends who have absolutely no interest in pro wrestling, saw The Wrestler on Friday night. Those around me seemed to like it, despite their aversion to the subject, but for me, it was a memorable night at the movies. It isn’t every day that you see the best damn wrestling movie ever made.
The Wrestler makes No Holds Barred look like a gaudy pile of bogus crap. The Wrestler is not perfect – it’s a “worse case scenario — but its authentic feel and serious intent lift it far above all previous efforts.
