Rocky Chosen Best Again
On December 31, 2008, EJ Claudio at BleacherReport.com listed his choices for The Top Five Boxing Movies of All Time. His number one choice was “Rocky” which beat out “Raging Bull,” “Million Dollar Baby,” “Cinderella Man” and every other boxing movie ever made. Here’s what he had to say:
1. Rocky
Sylvester Stallone will always be remembered because of this film. It was a very good movie that connected with the audience. It is about Rocky Balboa, a not-so-smart boxer with limited skills who rose to fame by winning the hearts of many when he overcame the odds and put on a good fight against the champion, Appollo Creed.

“Rambo” a 2008 Favorite
Several critics over at the San Francisco Bay Guardian On-LIne site weighed in with their Favorites from 2008. Jesse Hawthorne selected “Rambo” as one of his and said this:
Rambo (Sylvester Stallone, USA/Germany) Sly captures American destruction and cynicism in half the time as PT Anderson’s meandering There Will Be Blood (2007).
Rambo Makes “Best Films” List
Jeff Allard at ShockTilYouDrop.com lists his choices for Best & Worst Horror Films of 2008. Surprisingly, he places “Rambo” on the Best Film list! Here’s his rationale:
Sylvester Stallone’s return to one of his signature roles wasn’t horror, of course, but Rambo is a film no genre fan can afford to ignore…
High praise indeed!
