OFF WEEK - Grudge Match

I've had to concede to myself that there will be weeks in which I won't have time to update this blog. It's not necessarily because I won't have time to write a review; it's more based on the time, or lack there of, that I have to watch a movie.  I could write and have written in some instances about movies I like but haven't seen recently.  However, when I do that, I tend to not be nearly as motivated in my writing, and the blog suffers.  

In place of writing a crappy review here and there, I've just decided to write a short paragraph for those weeks about a movie that is coming out soon that I'd like to see or a movie I've never seen that I intend to watch as soon as time permits.  Some of these will classics, some will be indies of which you may have never heard, some may will be unreleased titles.  Regardless, it will turn out better than if I just force an entry about something I'm not really motivated to write.

Here's another one in what appears to be a long, long line of "comeback films".  This entire movement appears to be spearheaded by Stallone.  Between Bullet to the Head, The Expendables, The Expendables 2, The Escape Plan and several other announced or in-production films, he's putting himself and all his old action buddies back in..well, action.  This time around he's bringing De Niro into the mix.  I like the pairing given they've both played boxers, Stallone as Rocky and De Niro as Jake La Motta in Raging Bull.  I think the supporting cast will fill things out nicely.
