"The Wrestler" 2010 " Inside "look at wrestling circuit people and the huge emotional and physical impact that wrestling doles out.... O'Rourke acts so perfectly for this lead role and I just wanted to take him home and "heal" him on all 4 levels of Maslow's hierarchy !

"The Last Station" 2009 Helen Merian; Chris. Plumber other notables.
If you wonder what Russian writer/philospher ,Leo Tolstoy, was all about, then this is NOT for you. However, it is not listed as documentary, so it isn't !
Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse of Tolstoy and his life/love contradictions. Actors superb. Briefly covered L.Tolstoy's final years of introspection and his idealist values, such as, love conquers all and some of his actual quotes like, " Greed is evil". Ha...how apropos to issues today too !

There's a lot to it, so I'll cheat and post a description I didn't write.
In London, the sideshow troupe of Doctor Parnassus promises the audience a journey to the "Imaginarium", an imaginary world commanded by the mind of Doctor Parnassus, where dreams come true. In the stories that Doctor Parnassus tells to his daughter Valentina, the midget Percy, and his assistant Anton, he claims to have lived for more than one thousand years; However, when he fell in love with a mortal woman, he made a deal with the devil (Mr. Nick), trading his immortality for youth. As part of the bargain, he promised his son or daughter to Mr. Nick on their sixteenth birthday. Valentina is now almost to the doomed age and Doctor Parnassus makes a new bet with Mr. Nick, whoever seduces five souls in the Imaginarium will have Valentina as a prize. Meanwhile the troupe rescues Tony, a young man that was hanged on a bridge by the Russians. Tony was chased until he finds and joins the group. Tony and Valentina fall in love with each other and the jealous Anton discovers that his competition may be a liar.

I just watched The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Heath Ledger's last film. It's very good and they did a great job of filling in the parts he was unable to do before his death.

Great idea Susie, wish I was closer. A belly dancer joined my women's group... I wanna take lessons. I think the burlesque and belly dance calls our wild woman to move in ways our more practical self doesn't.

Burlesque was our pick of the week. A movie that leaves you feeling good upon exiting the theater. Both my husband and I enJoyed the movie. Two powerful and dynamic women lead this movie. I so resonated with their characters energies... love, passion, determination, talent, creative imaginations, wise, business savvy, I could go on and on. Lots of dancing and beautiful music. Not only did the movie depict beautiful women, it also had some hottie men. I'm talking internally as well as external here. Loved it! A movie with a powerful message.

PUSH - as per IMDB "Two young Americans with special abilities must race to find a girl in Hong Kong before a shadowy government organization called Division does. " Set in the future? A different time warp?? Lots of blowing up stuff...and people...and more stuff. I guess it was kind of like a bad accident. I just had to watch! LOL
