“OSCAR” With Sly Stallone is Awfully Good

Craig / / 2019, Celebs, Oscar

Jason Adams at Joblo.com profiled one of Sly Stallone’s most under-rated movies in AWFULLY GOOD: OSCAR WITH SYLVESTER STALLONE.  Here are a few tidbits before you click over…

  • OSCAR should’ve been a homerun back in 1991. A madcap comedy was right in the wheelhouse of director John Landis, who was coming off the back-to-back success of COMING TO AMERICA and THREE AMIGOS. Landis perfectly cast Al Pacino in the lead role… (which ultimately went to Sly Stallone)
  • Stallone particularly gets an undeserved bad rap for this movie.
  • Stallone is more fun in OSCAR than Pacino ever would’ve been.

Sly Stallone Retrospective by Chris Bumbray of JoBlo.com!

Craig / / 2019, Celebs, Sly Fan

Chris Bumbray, over at JoBlo.com has a new series where he takes a look at the careers of famous movie stars.  As you’ve probably already figured out, this week he turns the spotlight on Sly Stallone.

Bumbray does an excellent job with his retrospective and analysis.  No nits to pick except I’d rate Stop of My Mom Will Shoot! as Sly’s worst  (not Rhinestone) and of course, everyone knows how much I enjoy Sly’s Get Carter.
