    Jan 8 Midnight downtown premiere of THE WRESTLER with a full-scale REAL LIVE WRESTLING EVENT!

    This may be the first time we've ever seen the toughest critics and fans unanimously deem a new film perfect. With his battle scars and failing heart, retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) jumps back into the squared circle to prove to himself that he's more than just a used-up piece of meat. A simple premise, but apparently Rourke's performance and the script are so strong, compelling and real that audiences across the world are going haywire, calling this the best film in the critically acclaimed director's entire career. There hasn't been a new American drama this exciting since the WWF was king!

    With an incredible classic wrestling preshow that you won't find anywhere else. Don't miss this!
