Rocky 1976 - 5 stars out of 5 stars

This 2 hour movie is on EVERYONE’s top 10 of all time list after they see it for sure.Besides the lead character,Rocky played by Sylvester Stallone in his greatest role ever,sorry Rambo,it has become a cultural iconic example of trumph in the face of adversity by perseverance and truth in ones own code of conduct.Besides Sly the cast is awesome so I won’t name them because they are still second to Sly.I can’t say more because I do love the film to much to be subjective but when ever I get down on the lack of good movies I rewatch classics like this.Oh and if you want a good minority role,well Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed,the world heavyweight champ gives you that as well.A satirical tribute to Ali no doubt.So the trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.

Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer, gets a supremely rare chance to fight the heavy-weight champion, Apollo Creed, in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect.

Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) 3 1/2 stars out of 5

This box office smash and much anticipated release could not possibly live up to expectations,still with Harrison Ford still a major character as Han Solo it is worth seeing.Daisy Ridle as Rey,a new and exciting character, I was  engaged for the whole 135 minutes.While the rest of the characters were ok,I was not so thrilled with Adam Driver as Kylo Ren,a new Darth Vader sort.Still J.J. Abrams did a decent enough job even if many times it felt like a update of the classic episode 4,first of this wonderful series.I won’t give spoilers but it all did make sense after all and the sequel to come is also much anticipated.A trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below,enjoy.

Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a ragtag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance.
