Quadrophenia (Criterion) Franc Roddam’s 1979 film based on The Who’s classic rock opera tells the story of working class lad Jimmy (Phil Daniels) struggling to find his identity in a rapidly changing Britain, circa 1965. Jimmy is a “mod,” a youth movement dedicated to wearing snappy suits, driving Vespa motor scooters bedecked with side mirrors, popping amphetamines and obsessed with the new sound of bands like The Who and The Kinks. Their other pastime is engaging in bloody brawls with “rockers,” throwbacks to the 1950s, who listen to Elvis and Gene Vincent, wear leather biker gear, grease in their hair and drive massive motorcycles a la Marlon Brando in “The Wild One.” Often cited as a worthy successor to “Rebel Without a Cause” as the greatest angry youth picture ever made, it is that and more, including a first cousin to the “kitchen sink” dramas of scribes John Osborne,...

Anyone out there who would dismiss “Hall Pass” outright — assuming it’s a formulaic buddy movie during which a pair of middle-aged horndogs go cruising for chicks, only to realize in the end that home is truly where the heart is — is in for a huge surprise.
Nah, just kidding.
“Hall Pass” is every pop-culture cliché you’d imagine it might be and then some.
There are dick jokes and boob jokes and cunnilingus jokes and masturbation jokes. There are shit jokes and beer jokes and pot jokes and Chinese massage jokes. There are black penis jokes and Irish penis jokes — even a premature ejaculating penis joke. There’s full-frontal nudity and partial nudity and even some gratuitous nudity.

Pacquiao is a worldwide phenom the U.S. is only now catching up to. On Saturday night he fights in front of 50,000 people at Cowboys Stadium. Allen Barra looks inside his popularity.
The greatest fighter in the world will is packing them into the new Cowboys Stadium Saturday, and I'll bet you don't even know who he is. Better catch up quickly, because in a couple of years he might be the president of a country of 95 million people, and you never know when you might need a friend in Asia.

Emmanuel Dapidran "Manny" Pacquiao (pronounced pak' jau) is a phenomenon. Sportswriters have been hitting air trying to find comparisons between him and other great names in boxing history. They've failed because there really aren't any to make. Pacquiao's story is so incredible that, had it been a script, Sylvester Stallone would have rejected it.

Chicago – There are very few characters as iconic as Rocky Balboa. A few images, sound bites, or even just a few notes of a song and audiences of the right age are transported back to the first time they saw the Best Picture-winning “Rocky,” the film that made Sylvester Stallone a star over three decades ago. That beloved sports film and the five sequels that followed have been collected on Blu-Ray for the first time in “Rocky: The Undisputed Collection”.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
The original “Rocky” looks a little more dated with each passing year, but the spirit of the film is still effective. Watching it again for the first time in years, I was struck by how many films that followed it have copied the basic beats and tone of the film. Stallone’s smartest move with “Rocky” was keeping it simple; making it a story to which everyone could relate.

Rocky
Times like these, I hate reviewing classic films. What can I add that hasn’t already been said or covered about the 1976 Best Picture winner? Well, other than what film should have won it, but Rocky is a more than worthy candidate for the statue. It sometimes gets criticism for not showing enough of the epic fight at the end, but I feel that’s a brilliant move as we know these men will go the distance. The performances are excellent, the direction is up to par, and the story is a timeless classic. Truthfully, the alternate ending where Rocky throws the fight would have been interesting to see.
9/10
Rocky II
I’d forgotten what a depressing trip this was, which makes Rocky’s eventual win that much sweeter by the end of the film. This marked Sylvester Stallone’s second directorial debut and for the most part he...
