Gonna Fly Now - the Autospy of "Rocky Balboa"
Submitted by miss_niki on January 5, 2008 - 6:22pm*spoiler alert*
A new friend of mine insisted we watch “Rocky Balboa” the other day on DVD. He loved it & told me that if I didn’t, he’d watch any three movies of my choosing. If I did love it, I had to write about it on my blog. Well, I like to write & I like films, so I wrote about it regardless.
