I sa it tonight, with a female that isn't made up, and I was pretty impressed. I pretty much agree with everyhting this guy says above me.

I thought the whole trailer for "blood and chocolate" made hte movie look lame, and I was trying not to laugh, but then I saw the title and couldnt stop.

that POW movie might be good. herzog does some zany things.

transformers is not going to be transformers, but I'll see it just out of obligation.

I hear they want to do a final movie for rambo too, any news?

Rambo IV is currently filming... I believe the plot is that Rambo, long since retired, is forced to take action when his daughter is kidnapped. So basically it'll be like Commando.

The other story out there right now is that Stallone is considering doing a remake of Death Wish. That could be pretty good, providing they keep it as dark and gritty as the original.

You think they can get Alyssa Milano to be the daughter again?

Like Syd said, they've been talking about it for ages. They'd been tossing it around since 1997, and I frankly never thought it would happen.

But I never thought Rocky VI would actually ever come out, nor be good (in an actual good way). They've got Rambo in pre-production right now, according to IMDB.com. It depends upon the success of Rocky Balboa; I don't think Stallone has the pull he used to to ram the project through if need be, and he needs Rocky to prove he can still get it done.

However, IMDB.com (I love you, internet movie database) also says that Rocky Balboa had a piddling budget of only $24 million, making it practically a low-budget movie. It's taken in that much already, even though it's stuck in 3rd behind Ben Stiller and Will Smith (I never thought I'd be saying that again). Those are good signs if you'd like to see Rambo IV.

Let's remember that movies are often cancelled in pre-production (see Superman Lives, Superman Reborn, Superman Goes Someplace Stupid, Duke Nukem, Mad Max 4, you get the idea).

You know what I love best, is after Arnold brutally murders Bennet by throwing a pipe entirely through his torso and pinning him to a wall, he and his daughter share a smile and a laugh at his hilarious one-liner. What a touching moment to bond with your daughter, right after you've mentally scarred her for life!

I finally watched the original Rocky in its entirety the other day. Absolutely loved it.

One thing bugged me though. I was astonished at how amazingly bad the fight choreography was. In a boxing movie.

I don't mean it should have been flashier or anything. I mean that two thirds of the time I couldn't figure out what punches were allegedly connecting, because all of them looked like blatant misses. Shocked

Yeah... It's a doozy. But it's not about boxing. It's about the opportunity, the journey, the celery, and Journey's Faithfully.

I finally saw Rocky VI today. Best movie of the year.

Well, it was better than "The Departed" at least... Rolling Eyes

The film is really depressing for the first hour and a half. Geez. What a manipulation. Then it kicks into Rocky-mode and the movie kicks ass from there. Best credits to a Rocky yet.

My props are given to Paulie (Burt Young) who's the true hero of the film. I wish Duke had more to do than he did though.

Thank God there's this movie to replace Rocky V. A good movie to go out on.

my favorite scene was paulie drunk, with a ham under his arm, screaming about owning a watch.

I finally saw it last night, I was highly satisfied with it. Definitely a great way to end the series.

I half expected him to be wearing the watches like sinbad.

I LOL'ed when Paulie showed up at the fight with about 50 different endorsements on him.

I nearly died when Rocky lifted up the dog at the end of the montage. Very Happy
