Rocky lives

Entertainment No Comments »

When I first heard that Rocky VI was really going to be made, I became ill. I love the Rocky series, but Rocky V was a miserable, horribly-conceived movie. So, Rocky VI was a bad, bad idea in my opinion.

I’m slowly warming up to Rocky VI though. The trailer looks great, Rocky’s son has been perfectly cast (Hero’s Milo Ventimiglia), and the use of a real (and talented) boxer as Rocky’s opponent - Antonio Tarver - was a smart move.

You can read a terrific interview with Sly at Ain’t It Cool.com. It’s worthwhile to click on the previous links first and start the Q+A at the beginning.

Good songs…and lots of them

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but Vince Gill’s new 4 disc box set is awesome. You don’t have to be a fan of country music to appreciate the great song-writing and melodies on these songs. You can sample all 43 tracks on Gill’s website.

Let me know what you think.
