“The Wrestler”
Available Tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray
Actor Mickey Rourke is Randy “The Ram” Robinson in this much-talked-about look at the life of a fading wrestling star (no, not Hulk Hogan). And we hear Marisa Tomei is a revelation — or is it “revealer” — as a stripper.
WATCH
Blackhawks at Calgary
9 p.m. Wednesday, CSN
Yes, it’s a late game, but if the Hawks sweep the Flames, this is the clincher. Sure, it might not end until after midnight, but that’s what sick days are for. Not that we’re advocating skipping work. We’d never do that.
ATTEND
Bulls vs. Boston
7 p.m. Thursday, United Center
It might cost you a few bucks, but this is a big game now that the Bulls have stolen home-court advantage from the defending champs. And what good is home-court advantage if fans like you don’t come and scream your lungs out?
ATTEND
Red Stars vs. Boston
7:30 p.m. Saturday; Toyota Park, Bridgeview
Sports fans cannot live on basketball and hockey alone, so sprinkle in some local soccer of the female variety. Chicago’s newest pro team is the Red Stars, and they are undefeated. Well, they’ve tied once, but that’s to be expected in soccer.
