Hello,

Just checked out your site (StalloneZone). Very well laid out and interesting to read through. Added to my favourites. Well done on all the work you’ve put into it, best fan site I’ve come across.

I’ve been a big fan of Stallone and his films ever since I was a kid and thought that the new Rambo movie was probably his best bar Rocky 1.

I also noticed you have fan work on your site and thought you might like a look at some of the work I’ve done previously on Stallone.

There is more of my work on my site www.jonmckenzieart.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you and would really appreciate some feedback on the work.

Thank you.

Kevin Williamson of the Ottowa Sun, in the April 6, 2008 edition picks his Top Ten Cop Movies. As you can imagine, it’s a great list since there have been a ton of great cop flicks. Williamson’s list includes: 1] Heat 2] LA Confidential 3] The French Connection 4] Serpico 5] Narc 6] Se7en 7] Bullet 8] Cop Land 9] The Untouchables 10] Dirty Harry and Lethal Weapon. Here’s what he had to say about Cop Land:

8. COPLAND (1997)

Sylvester Stallone may be content to regurgitate his Rambo and Rocky franchises now, but for a fleeting moment in the mid-1990s, he dared to bulk up as a sheriff faced with a town of dirty big-city officers.
