Lee KM Pallatina (951 KP) rated The Wrestler (2008) in Movies

The show must go on...

This wonderful tale tells the story of Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) who was once one of the biggest names in the industry who now struggles with daily life but is still ready and rarin' to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a brutal beating, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a relationship with a stripper (Marisa Tomei), and tries to reconnect with his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). But with that fire still burning within, prepares for comeback....

This gritty look at the reality of wrestlers from the past is a real eye opener, hearing and reading about their struggles after years of entertaining millions to be tossed aside when they can no longer commit to the performance is a humble experience and inspiration.

Some solid acting, good casting genuine tone.

What's more terrifying...
What you can't see,
Or what you can't remember?

Since her divorce, Kendall Madison has been in over her head. Between trying to make ends meet, raising three kids, and hunting ghosts,
Kendall just can't seem to find balance in her life. When she finally lands a job right up her alley, she hopes it’s a sign for better things ...

Brilliant!! So many books write their female leads to be hot single women this was so refreshing to have a female lead with a normal life, the daily struggles as a parent, then she kicks ass in the supernatural world too. It was so well written and such an enjoyable read. I'm definitely rooting for Malcolm in this one and can't wait to discover more now Kendall has her memories back!

App Rating

Huge range of goods at reasonable prices (1 more)

Buyer protection

Buyer protection can be abused (2 more)

Ebay supports the buyer almost exclusively over the seller

Fake goods accounts are not shut down

Brilliant for buyers, poor for sellers.

This app is one I use daily for buying. However, if you are selling I have found that:
1) People want something for nothing.. and I mean nothing.
2) Buyers can abuse ebays buyer protection policy
3) Ebay protects buyer over seller.

I would not recommend this platform for selling day to day items. I have sold on it for many years and have watched it change. Although I have excellent buyer feedback I still have to refund buyers who make false or innacurate claims about goods. It leaves you out of pocket and is generally a waste of your time.

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Alcoholism and domestic abuse creep silently into people’s lives, shattering dreams. For Pamela Lombana, the excitement of marriage turned into paralyzing fear as alcohol became her husband’s best friend. Surviving the daily physical and emotional abuse was the norm for her and their children. Full Circle tells the story of how love and God’s abiding grace helped Pamela find the strength to leave her husband, Fernando. During this journey, healing and forgiveness allowed her and the children to be there for him when he needed them the most.
