I pity the fool that don't like Rocky III
Rocky III Many have said that the original Rocky was actually Sylvester Stallone's autobiography - the story of a young kid from the street with the desire to win. If the Rocky series is that...Rocky III was where Sylvester Stallone moved to Hollywood and got soft with such favorites as "Stop or My Mom will Shoot" and "Rhinestone". Rocky III is what happens when stars start to believe their own hype. The story picks up with Rocky being a total goofball and riding his popularity like pretty much everybody from any reality show (including Donald Trump). Rocky is even boxing with the fictional professional wrestler Thunderlips (A fantastic cameo by professional wrestler Hulk Hogan). In the end, he must go back to his roots of training when the persistent Clubber Lang (a highly under-rated performance by Mr. T) challenges Rocky to a title fight. I guess Sylvester Stallone would like for you to believe that Rocky III is more of his continuing saga, but I don't think that that is exactly going to happen with his Rambo IV coming out soon. Highlights: - Mr. T pitying all of the fools in the movie. - A fantastic boxing strategy of "I'll let you beat on me until you are tired out and then I'll open the can of hurt on you...brilliant. I have personally tried this unsuccessfully on the tough streets of Philly, but I end up passing out before I can fight back. - "Eye of the Tiger"...I don't need to say any more. Lowlight: - The training scenes with Carl Weathers. I am not sure if prancing around in the ocean with Action Jackson in the short-shorts is really making me think that he could take down BA Barracus...but what do I know.

The Little Mermaid
Yes, this is a Disney favorite. Yes, the songs rock. Yes, I wish I could live under the sea... But I have to say, this movie really disappointed me because of the lessons that Ariel teaches young girls. The heroine reinforces the belief that it is acceptable to go against your parents and basically change who you are for a guy. Come on...I know you live under the sea and all, but in this day and age how about a little backbone.

Sin City is a guilty of being Awesome!
Sin City is perhaps one of the best adaptations of comic book to the big screen. Robert Rodriguez preserves the genius of Frank Miller (I believe that Batman, The Dark Knight Returns is one of the greatest pieces of LITERATURE of all times). Sin City is a about a mythical city that feels simultaneously like it is in the past and the future at the same time. It is a town that represents pretty much all that is ugly in people. Sprinkled in this town are three stories where a little bit of what is good in people lurks. The story of a Brute (Mickey Rourke is my hero) out for revenge, a Cop (Bruce Willis...who needs Demi Moore?) that wants to do one good thing, and a Hero (Clive Owen...say no more) in training. Together their stories converge in classic Tarantino style (there is even a guest director appearance by Tarantino) in Sin City. Rodriguez brings the comic book to the big screen while preserving the medium that it was originally created for. He understands that Sin City is not about Ben Affleck being Ben Affleck. Sin City is a beautifully shot film, using the Comic-book style of taking snapshots of the action to create the story. This film is really like no other film out there. The violence is pretty gruesome, but Rodriguez gets away with this because it is all done in comic book fashion. After watching this film, I recommend that you get a drink of water and watch it again. It is that good!
