Tell Me What to Watch Weekend Open Trackbacks
Posted by Adam Graham in : Open TrackbacksMy wife and I are on the cusp of a small dilemma, that you can help decide. I’m not a huge fan of movies in general. However, for Christmas, my boss gave me 1 movie ticket. Now, that means to go see a movie, I still need to buy a ticket for my wife. But that still cuts the cost in half.
At this time of the year, I find not one, but two different movies that I’d like to see and I’m certainly not going to spend the money to see both (one at full price,) so the question is which do I see.
In this corner, we have Rocky Balboa. Everyone, including yours truly thought the idea of a 6th Rocky was going to be another embarrassment to Sly Stallone. Instead, from all reports, we have a movie that’s probably as good as any Rocky film since the original and a fitting end to the series that appeared ruined by Rocky V.
On the other hand, we have The Pursuit of Happyness a moving drama that celebrates the value of fatherhood and may be Will Smith’s most serious role yet, as it tells a great tale of Father and Son.
So which to see. That’s your choice. Whichever, you my readers say I should go to, I’ll go to. Here are some reasons to base a vote on:
- You saw one movie and liked it.
- You saw one of the movies and hated it.
- You’d like to see one movie more than the other.
- You think I’d like one movie more than the other.
Both have positive reviews from Focus on the Family’s Plugged In. Both look very interesting me and I’d be happy with either, but I’m giving readers a chance to choose what I say and in turn what movie I review:

Now, onto the Party. First, the rules:

Rocky Balboa. I think it’s the best of all the Rockys. Sly gives his best ever performance of his life. I was excited and nervous and crying and laughing. Perhaps I should not have gone off my medication.
And please, have a Happy New Year.
