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

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

EW’s Review of "Rocky Balboa" DVD

Craig / / Uncategorized

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
