I was a bit worried about watching this film as I'd heard there was no Adrian and also because it's so far on from the last Rocky I wasn't sure how they were going to pull this off! Much to my surprise this film was excellent with a great story and an even better ending! Rocky is trying to have a normal life and owns a restaurant where he entertains his guests with stories of his past fights. One night in the restaurant on the tv a computer simulated fight between Rocky and the current heavy weight champion of the world is shown and this encourages Rocky to get back into the ring. Stallone is truly excellent in this film and gives a very memorable last ...  Read the complete review

I know what youre thinking. Another great Rocky film to add to my collection. The horrible truth however is that it is not any where near the quality which we have come to expect from the Rock series. I myself am a firm lover of the Rocky series. I could honestly watch them time and time and time again. However it is a worthy effort however the quality of everthing in the film unfortunately fall well behind the bar. We all know though what to expect from a Rocky film and if you dont you must have being living under a rock all of your life. Seriously! You can expect a deep message such as love or sadness being portrayed and on the opposite hard bravery and bare ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a big fan of the Rocky franchise, much to my late husbands amusement, so when Rocky Balboa was released on DVD I immediately bought myself a copy. Rocky Balboa is the sixth film in the Rocky series, and I think it would be helpful to watch at least one or two of the previous films as this is very much a trip down memory lane. There are lots of flashbacks throughout the film and because Rockys beloved wife Adrian has died, places which were important in their volatile but loving relationship are featured quite heavily. Having said this, Rocky Balboa is a wonderful stand alone film it's just that if you haven't seen previous ...  Read the complete review

(Film only review) As an avid football fan that has recently moved to Berkshire I was intrigued when I saw that Everton versus Reading would be live of Sky TV. I was ready to see if the Royals could put the Toffee Men to the sword when a surreal thing occurred. A man appeared on the pitch adjourned in an EFC outfit holding his hands high as the crowd screamed his name. Who was this mysterious man? Was he a new evertonian striker bought to replace the potato headed wizard Wayne Rooney? No, he was far too old. I seem to recognise him from somewhere as if he were popular during the 80s but had since spent a little time under the surgeon’s knife. It turns ...  Read the complete review
