Last night I watched the sixth installment of the Rocky series.  I had heard Stallone saying that he had never been too happy with Rocky V and had long wanted a redo on finishing the Italian Stallion's story.

I enjoyed it.  What's not to like?  The plot is exactly the same as the original Rocky, but the details were tweaked just enough to give the tale a new moral.  It's no longer "Dare to Dream" but "Take the Hits and Keep Going". 

Adrian is dead, Rocky is running a little resteraunt in Philly and wondering how to kill the beast inside. 

First he adopts a meek little barmaid whom he once helped out when she was a kid.  Then he adopts her son, then he adopts a dog, then he adopts Peter Petrelli, king of the super heroes.  Finally he fights the champ, goes the distance and Hillary wins both Ohio and Texas! and I laughed my ass off.
