SZoner, REMwatch sent in THIS LINK to IGN’s review of “Rocky Balboa” and the DVD. Of course they loved the movie summarizing it by saying: “Stallone’s fight-film finale redeems the Rocky franchise with classic, compelling storytelling and some bad*** boxing footage.” IGN also posted up some nice pics from the movie. – Craig

Rocky Statue Ink


SZoner, Mike from South Philly…home of Rocky and the Rocky statue…sendt in a copy of “a little art work” he had done on his arm! No doubt that Mike is a loyal Rocky fan! – Craig

Gonna Fly Now


SZoner, Joshua Vance sent in a pic of his “Gonna Fly Now” painting. Here’s what Josh had to say:

I finished it about a month after Balboa came out, it’s titled “Gonna Fly Now” naturally heh heh. It’s acrylic medium and the canvas is 24 X 36 I believe. I’d have to check again.

Love the website, have been visiting a long time and just registered.

Keep it up Craig! – Joshua

Great work Josh! Thanks for sharing it with us! – Craig

EW’s Review of "Rocky Balboa" DVD


The March 23, 2007 issue of Entertainment Weekly contains a review of the “Rocky Balboa” dvd by Clark Collis who gives it a “B-.” It’s obvious from the review that Collis is not a Stallone fan. Still, even Collis has to admit “it’s undeniably moving to see filmdom’s famous fighter grieve over his now-dead Adrian or simply lumber up those damn steps one (hopefully) final time.

It’s sad that Collis couldn’t judge the film on it’s own merits and sadder still, that he just didn’t get it. Oh well, a B- is still above average. – Craig
