todays blog (movie review) is on the movie Rocky Balboa written and directed by Rocky himself Sylvester Stallone! Rocky is much older now and reminiscing on the past and now owns an Italian restaurant and Adrian has passed away... so sad. There is a computer simulation of a fight between Rocky and an undefeated boxer Mason Dixon who is 33-0 and rocky wins the simulation and it stirs up some commotion you better believe! Mason Dixon's manager comes to rocky and asks him for an exhibition match (there's a joke where some announcer calls it an execution match and i thought that was pretty witty) and rocky thinks it over for a minute and then accepts. So he goes and trains and starts buildin some o dem hurtin bombs to drop on top of Mason Dixon's headquarters. (yes see hurtin bombs to drop on his headquarters. I'm not quite as witty as the announcer) After the training montage with the classic rocky music and throwing around kegs and chains in a warehouse rocky is read to unload his hurtin bombs!
Well I just had to say that training with kegs, and heavy chains is a bad ass way to train. Unfortunately the heaviest thing i have is a monitor. I guess i could start buildin some moue clickin bombs lifting it over my head and possibly taking it off the desk and putting it back.
I was not expecting much from Rocky Balboa and was surprised i ended up enjoying the movie and wondering whether throwing those Kegs and heavy chains around for a couple weeks would pay off. The fight is pretty good and lasts awhile also and has you cheering for the rockster himself (i made that nickname up because a boxer should have ster at the end for his nickname).
On another note i have to say that watching boxing in real life is incredibly boring and nothing like in rocky! Real boxing consists of punch, circle around, circle around, circle around, punch, grab on to the other boxer against the rope for 5 seconds and then repeat. I saw the old Rocky movies before i ever saw boxing and ended up yelling at my television that it was nothing like when rocky fought a Russian who could punch a wall and have the computer simulate his strength off the chart! Maybe the boxers on television were training with bike chains and beer cans and just couldn't put up a fight like Rambo.
I give Rocky Balboa the heavyweight title for best boxing movie of the year. i was pleasantly surprised!
