Rocky Balboa (2006) - The Best of the Series So Far

When I first hear that they were making Rocky VI, my first thought was, "That's stupid...Rocky V was bad enough" and that was followed by, "I hope Rocky dies so they can't make another one". Of course I was going to see it anyway...just as I'll go see Die Hard 4, Rambo 4, Indiana Jones 4, and Beverly Hills Cop 4...because I grew up watching this shit and you just have to see the sequels. Notice that they're all part 4s? Anyway today I'm just talking about Rocky VI...or "Rocky Balboa" as they decided to title it to make you forget it was a 5th sequel.

Seriously, this was the best of the entire Rocky series. Some people will complain that there's not enough action, but that's only because there was a real story. A good story that didn't take away from the goodness of the original, and the 3rd and 4th movies. Don't talk to me about Rocky II...that was boring...and Rocky V...we already talked about that.

Sure, Rocky is a bit older now, but that's what this story is about. It doesn't try to pretend that he never had brain damage...that's obvious. Adrian is dead (that's not a spoiler, it's in the description of the movie), and Rocky is dealing with that and getting old...running his restaurant...trying to bond with his kid who is embarrased that he's "son of Rocky". It's a great story with a really good fight at the end that makes sense as an ending to the series. I'm not going to tell you who wins...don't be stupid. Go see the movie and find out for yourself.

Alfred, Unibrow, and the Big Headed Boy 3: A Bfuch N Krappy Holiday Movie (2005) - One Year Later, Same Old Movie

Every year, you tune into A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman...why not tune in again for Alfred, Unibrow, and the Big Headed Boy 3: A Bfuch N Krappy Holiday Movie...even if you've already seen it (just click the poster to open a new window).

Since it's the movie I created and released LAST YEAR, I know you've already seen it, but why not make it a yearly tradition? It's the second best movie I've ever made.
