Anyone see the film, The Wrestler? I heard he was great in that.

When you fall people push you down even more. The world is full of materialism and envy. When you are famous and you fall, people don’t want you to come back.

Reminiscent of Fr. Corapi's story.

Good film. I’m not so impressed with movies these days, but this one has scenes that probably will stick in your mind. I won’t give those away. I found myself caught up with the story. Sometimes I felt anger with his character, more often rooting for him. Good acting on his part to make it seem like a documentary of a real person.

Gawd I love a good comeback story. Especially a Catholic one.

“If I weren’t Catholic I would have blown my brains out,” he said.

Godspeed!
