Rocky Balboa

thirty years ago Rocky won the Academy Award for Best Picture. today i saw Rocky Balboa. if you haven't seen the film i know how you feel. when i first heard Sly was going to make a sixth film in the franchise i laughed and felt a little sad for him. however, after seeing the trailers i thought it was worth checking out. then it was getting some of the best reviews of the year. i don't normally listen to critics, but in this case they did push me over the edge to go to the theatre. Stallone was sad at how the story of Rocky Balboa ended in Rocky V, with this film the story ends beautifully. the music will never get old, the writing was great, Stallone starred, wrote and directed the film. great acting from all players. you'll laugh, smile, be inspired, and you might shed a tear. go see this movie. also, this movie has one of the greatest movie quotes of all time, straight from the Italian Stallion's mouth: "It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep movin' forward."
