‘Rocky Balboa’ Review

By

“Rocky Balboa” is the 6th and final film in the “Rocky” series. And it’s one of the best. Of course Sylvester Stallone is back to once again play “The Italian Stallion.” It’s been 30-years since Rocky first fought for the title and he’s fallen on some hard times due to the death of his wife […]
