Mickey Rourke returns to action in 'Wrestler'

Patrick Goldstein over at the Los Angeles Times has posted a interesting two-part column about Mickey Rourke's return into the spotlight with Darren Aronofsly's "The Wrestler," a film about pro wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson, who risks his life by challenging his big rival for one final match. 

Here's a tiny bit from the article by Goldstein:

"Rourke had to undergo a grueling training regime to play the part--he says he did all of his wrestling stunts in the film. Even though he's a boxing fan, he now has renewed respect for the physical pounding wrestlers take every night in the ring."
