mother of 5, count them! no girls!!

you know some people judge an actor by at least one movie that they have seen. well not me. out of 35 or more of his movies i didn't really know what there was about this man that caught my eye. but as i kept watching all of them i came to admire him. granted he is good looking, but that's not all. i noticed that whoever he played opposite of, they complimented each other. in this movie it was his mother[estelle getty] that helped make it good. all the things she was after him to do sounded so fimiliar. showing off her son in his pictures is just something a mother would do, if she was proud of him. the action that the both of them did was in my mind funny and moving.i honestly liked this movie. no one tells me a movie is good or bad. i am ones of those that decides for herself. stallone has made many good as well and better than good movies. and i expect to see more from him. go rocky go!
