Rocky Balboa
I got to catch an early show of Rocky Balboa with my bestest buddy on opening day, and despite the totally awful trailer and daunting premise it was actually one my favorite movies that has come out all year. The story picks up our old loveable hero Rocky in a modern day world with a growing generation he doesn't quite understand, and how he deals with the loss of Adrian, being a good father, and basically never losing his huge heart. There were some extremely touchy moments, and the movie flowed much more smoothly and well paced then some of the other Rocky movies in my opinion. There was very little I did not like about this film, though it seemed ridiculous for them to even try to make it at first. Stallone proved me dead wrong with one of the best performances of his whole damn career, and I'm not just saying that. Very nicely done, check it out soon and save yourself the grief of the usual Holiday blockbuster garbage.
