ROCKY BALBOA (SYLVESTER STALLONE;2006)


AWWW. I HAD TROUBLE ACCEPTING THIS ONE BECAUSE IT MADE ME SO SAD. IT WAS LIKE WATCHING THE WHITE RADIO. IT JUST FELT WRONG TO WATCH THE MENTALLY RETARDED TRY TO REGAIN THEIR FORMER GLORY. IT'S LIKE WATCHING A MOVIE VERSION OF LIFE GOES ON: WE GET IT ALREADY! CORKI'S MISSING HIS 21ST CHROMOSOME AND HE HAS DRAPES FOR EYELIDS! HOWEVER, BEING THE DEVIOUS LITTLE NINJA THAT I AM, I LAUGHED THROUGHOUT MOST OF THIS FILM. THESE DAYS ROCKY'S PRIMARY INCOME IS GENERATED FROM AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT HE OWNS IN SOUTH PHILLY. HE TRIES TO CHARM THE CUSTOMERS BUT CAN'T. APPARENTLY HE HAD A LOBOTOMY A COUPLE YEARS BACK. IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE TO HAVE A DINNER CONVERSATION WITH A VICTIM OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE. PAULIE IS STILL DRUNK, FAT, AND WORKING IN A MEAT FACTORY, WHICH IS SIMPLY ASTOUNDING. HOW SOMEONE CAN MANAGE A BOXING CHAMPION FOR DECADES AND NEVER FIND HIS WAY OUT OF A SHITTY MINIMUM WAGE JOB IS BEYOND ME. I GUESS THE WORLD REALLY DOES NEED COMPLETE FUCKING LOSERS. GOD BLESS THEM. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU....IF YOU'RE FROM SOUTH PHILLY OR NEVER LEARNED TO READ, THIS HEART-WARMING SEQUEL IS FOR YOU!
