Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Last night I saw "Rocky Balboa. I will pause here for your derisive laughter...............................................................
I had never seen a "Rocky" film but when I ran into the DVD on our local library's shelves I decided to give it a shot. The film concerns a semi-retired Rocky, operating a Jack Dempsey-like restaurant in South Philadelphia. he spends most of his time reminiscing about his fights with customers and folks wwho stop him in public. He is semi-estranged from his son, who is trying to enter the corporate worls but stymied because of his father's reputation. Other sib-plots involve Rocky visiting his late mwife's grave, his semi-courting an old girl friend, his relationship with his former manager, and his handouts to a washed up fighter who insists on washing dishes and doing other things to earn his keep.
A TV show conjures up a computer CGI fight betwen the current heavyweight champ and Rocky, and this leads to an actual fight in Las vagas. There are two endings to choose from. As I once read about Costner's "Waterworld", "It's not as bad as you think".
