BIG PICTURE
ROCKY BALBOA
OK, so we know he may look more like his mother than the
buff beefcake who took Clubber Lang to task back in 1983 but Sylvester Stallone has put daydreams of free bus passes and winter heating vouchers aside to drag his leathery hide back in the ring for just one more bout in this, the sixth in the series, Rocky Balboa. If that wasn’t shocking enough, word is that this, despite all the indicators, is actually a pretty damn good movie. There’s even talk of Oscar potential, Stallone’s first look-in since the original movie picked one up 30 years ago.
