Rocky Balboa (Blu-ray)
When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a nationally televised, 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son (Milo Ventimiglia, TV's Heroes) and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history, a hard-hitting, action-packed battle of the ages!
"The acting in the film is grade-A...some rousing inspirational monologues..." Mark Bell, Film Threat
"...a low-key, technically stripped-down production that really does come close to capturing the heart and soul of the original." Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter
"...an irresistible statement that "Yo, life ain't over till it's over."" William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

L.A. Weekly 8 of 10
L.A. Weekly 8 of 10
In 1976, a struggling 30-year-old actor named Sylvester Stallone wrote a script about an underdog boxer getting an unlikely title shot, insisted on starring in it himself and ended up with an Oscar-winning hit on his hands. In 2006, a has-been 60-year-old superstar, also named Sylvester Stallone, has dusted off the old text, changed a few names and places and restaged it as though it were King Lear. And here's the thing: It works beautifully...That final bout, shot by Stallone with high-definition video cameras in the style of televised sports, will prove unreasonably exciting to those who, like this critic, came of age watching Rocky KO Apollo Creed, Mr. T and some Russian commie played by Dolph Lundgren. But what gives Rocky Balboa its unexpected pathos is the titanic humility of Stallone's performance, the earnestness with which he plays a man knocked down (but not out) by the ravages of time. - Scott Foundas
