Best movie so far this year - Resurrecting the Champ Reviews

There are so many ways to look at this movie and that alone is what made it great. Dispite the diguise in promotion this movie is about the rash of journalistic faux pas's that the sensationalism of TV journalism has forced upon the print industry. Unlike the clown at the NY Times that was making up the news to earn his pulitzer prize this is a story of a journalist that was duped by the story. As it turned out the publisher wanted a story about what happens to a boxer after he falls out of the limelight and that is exactly what he got. I know history tells us that when the real world heavyweight division is lacking a true champion all hollywood has to do is make one up and the film will be a success. This movie gives us no raging bull, or rocky balboa but in my book is truly a great movie all on its own.
