Rocky BalboaProbably the sappiest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Still, though, it was 10 times better than Rocky V. It may be better than Rocky II or Rocky IV, but, honestly I don't remember either of those two very much.
Rocky III has always been my favorite. I saw it at the Strand Theatre with my dad. "It's the eye of the tiger..." I drew Mr. T. cartoons in my notebooks for months and even made a Mr. T. puppet in art class.
I liked how they worked the flashbacks from previous movies into this one, even if it did contribute to the sap factor.
Two things that I would like to point out as good qualities of this movie. One, he did not end up having a romantic relationship with the not unattractive single mom half his age, and two, he didn't win the fight. If either of those two things had been different, I would have hated this film, but instead I say, it's not bad. 2 3/4 stars out of 5.
The Science of SleepEver heard of it? Nope. Didn't think so. These kinds of movies have a way of seeking my wife out. Was this one bad? Nah, not too bad. Was it the weirdest movie besides Altered States that I have ever seen? Yes. 2 3/8 stars out of 5.
