- Rocky Balboa -

Another name for this movie would have been Rocky VI. Yup, this is exactly the SIXTH rocky movie that Sylvester Stallone had acted in. The pace of the movie was kinda slow pace as describe by mr anonymous before I even watched the show. It was Rocky's after life after his two time world heavy weight champion boxing career. His wife passed away, and he lost his aims in life and was trying to find his son to talk to. But his son didn't like getting associated with his father as he was always referred as "Rocky's Son" and not as himself. The show got more interesting when Rocky applied for a boxing licence and was immediately invited on an exhibition match with the recent boxing champion who has never lost in a match before. That was when he started training and all the typical stuff from his previous movies came in. Meaning the "eye of the tiger" song, lifting weights, jogging like mad and eating huge amounts of raw eggs. The climax came when the boxing match started with plenty of punches here and there between the 50+ yr old Rocky and the 20+ yr old boxing champion. Well, what can I say, if you're a Rocky fan, it's a definate must watch. Another would be if you're looking for some inspiration, here's where to look. One nice motivating line from the movie would be " It's not about how you can hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward, it's about how much you can take and keep moving forward."
