Back at last, rocky 2,3,4,5 and Balboa !!!

Well being that it has been ages since I have posted anything on this damn blog I think I owe it to whoever reads this blog t post something, so being that I have reveiwed rocky already why don't I reveiw the rest of the series , and of course lets start where I left off at rocky 2

Rocky 2


This in my opinion was probably the best of the sequals in the rocky series, this advances the story from rocky after his fight with appolo and when Appolo chalenges rocky to rematch, rocky then chooses that time to retire so that he can have a regular life with his wife and beeing that one of his eyes is badly damaged it would not be the best idea to go out and fight, however after several humiliation tactics from Appolo he's is forced back into the ring and soon becomes the new heavyweight champion of the world, the movie is a must for any Rocky fan the motage is one of the best and the end fight was brilliant, check it out.

Rocky 3









Now this movie in all the series was definatly not the best but it is still worth watching, clubber lang played by Mr T is the main apponant in this movie and as he comes in and takes the championship belt from Rocky he finds himself working with Appolo to train and get that belt back from him, the movie all in all is good and worth watching but what is up with Rocky, wy does he keep tring to retire and at 32 what the fuck, oh well check it out it is o.k and worth seeing a couple of times.

Rocky 4






O.k this one in my opinion is easily the worst of the series, after Appolo being killed in a brutal boxing fight against the world amature champion for the soviet union Ivan Drago Rocky finds himself taking to the mountain f siberia in his traing to beat Ivan and avange the death of his freind Appolo creed, this is the worst of all the Rocky movies but is worth seeing maybe once or twice but after that there isn't too much, the most apealing bit in this movie is probably the end fight, but one thing that really pissed me off is that at the begining for Paulies birthday rocky gives him a robot, WTF!!!!!!!!!








***- *****

It's still worth seeing so check it out.





Rocky 5



This contnues on from Rocky 4, Rocky has arrived back in Phillidelphia his home town and after descovering he has brain damage he is forced into early retirment, and now descovering a new young boxer Rocky is willing to do anything for Tommy to make it big in boxing with the feeling that if Tommy wins rocky wins. All in all this is a good movie I have to say exeeded my
expectations , all in all this one is a good watch although I would have to say it is the most dramatic of the lot.



***/*****



Rocky Balboa







By the indication of the title and even Syvester stalone himself this is definatly going to be the last of the whole series meaning there is never going to be another Rocky movie, that's a damn shame but what can you do, I would have to say he ended the series just right, no that his wife is dead Rocky is now living a rather loanly life and after seeing a match simulation on T.v of him and the current heavy weight champion Mason Dixon , Rocky then gains a profesional boxing licence and cimbs back into the ring for one more fight what will it be, win, lose or draw, watch the movie and fid out, this was really goo movie, great way to end the whole of the series.

So as you can see or if you have seen these movie already you can most likely agree with me and I would have to say these movies are all worth seeing ,you shouldn't be disapointed.

Very Friggin' Bad Things!

Hi, it's me again. Daryl's older, more handsome and much more awesome brother Glenn.


(Glenn! Get back in your cage! - Daryl)


It's time for another movie review. And trust me, this one is damn good.






First of all I have to say that this movie is not for children, or people who are easily offended by swearing, bloody violence, prostitutes, murder and corpses.


Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about this movie. In "Very Bad Things" a group of guys take their friend to Las Vegas for a batchelor party before he gets married. Everything goes as planned.... That is until they accidentally kill a prostitute. Now firstly I'd like to say that this movie is not a rip off of "Shallow Grave" like many have claimed. "Very Bad Things" is simply another movie in a long line of black comedies that involve the discovery or the disposal of a dead body or the cover up of a murder, and the incidents that occur subsequently (See "Shallow Grave", "The Trouble with Harry", "Arsenic and Old Lace", "Heathers" and "Death Becomes Her").


But anyways, this movie is very well done. It's insanely well written by actor/writer/director Peter Berg and it stars one of the most awesome actors ever, "Christian Slater" who is no stranger to murder as he was in another great movie "Heathers". Not only is this movie hilarious, it's also very dark which will satify those who, like me, have a twisted sense of humour. It's basically a movie in which a bad situation just gets worse and worse by the minute, until it everything finally just ends up in the crapper, so to speak. Whilst the ending is quite tragic (Especially when thought about for a while) it's also funny as hell, and it's a hell of a lot lighter than the original ending (Which you can find on the IMDB in trivia).


Inevitably of course I have to compare this to the badass of black comedies Danny Boyle's "Shallow Grave", and while this movie came damn close, it didn't manage to surpass Danny Boyle's masterpiece. Still, there great to watch together along with the other aformentioned movies.


In conclusion the movie is an extremely fun and gruesome experience, with it's sharp witty script and visually interesting camera angles. Something to enjoy with the lads. Preferably during a batchelor party. A cautionary about how too much fun can lead to consequences!

Rating: 4/5
