WWE: CM Punk - Best in the World (2012 Video)

Truly Inspirational

[10/10 · 6 August 2013]

I've been a wrestling fan my entire life. I've watched many wrestlers get to the big leagues only to fail to make anything of it. CM Punk is not one of these wrestlers, he fought tooth and nail to make it to the top of the business, and boy has he done it.

What I really liked about this documentary, was the fact that, you just know that you're seeing the real Punk, that it's not an act. We get to hear in his own words how he worked to change the way WWE runs. He's not always nice about it, he talked about getting in peoples' faces and telling them how they need to change. But it's real. We get to hear from his "adopted" family, his best friends, his colleagues; and you can hear the respect and love they have for this man.

I think the most emotional part of the film, was the segment about the Straight Edge Society. Joey Mercury tells a story about Punk's loyalty and friendship to him, and it touched me.

If you're a CM Punk fan, or even a wrestling fan period, you should watch this. You should watch and realize why Punk can stand there and call himself the "Best in the World" and mean it. I absolutely enjoyed it, and I hope that Punk will be around for a long time to come.

Whores' Glory (2011)

Who are we to judge?

[8/10 · 5 August 2013]

I had this movie in my instant queue for quite some time, but it never seemed to be the right time to watch. However, today as I scrolled through the 200+ long list of movies, I stopped over the title, and decided to go ahead and watch.

It's always easy to judge someone based on something you know nothing about. Many people seem to think that all prostitutes are crack-heads or alcoholics, they think they're the scum of the universe; this movie shows you different.

The movie gives us an almost one-of-a-kind look at the lives of these ladies, one that you aren't likely to get without going out and experiencing it personally. It shows you women who are wives and mothers, girls who are selling themselves to be able to afford to take classes in another vocation. It shows us that many of them share the same hopes and dreams many of us have; to have a good life and not have to worry about where your next meal will come from, to fall in love.

I'm not naive enough to think that all prostitutes' lives are the same, but that just goes to show that you shouldn't stereotype. If you were a young woman and your only choices were to either live on the street and starve to death, or sell your body for just enough to get by, what would you do? What if selling your body was the only way to get money to feed your children?

Overall a very poignant film which I enjoyed, I would recommend it if you're not offended easily by sexual situations.
