ROCKY IV – ROCKY VS. DRAGO [Review]: The Definitive Director’s Cut.

Thankfully, writer/director/star Sylvestor Stallone shows more deft-of-touch in the editing of his recut Rocky IV than he did in the film’s new title Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago - The Definitive Director’s Cut.

THE ARTFUL ESCAPE [Review]: Feast For The Eyes (And Ears).

Let me start this review with the worst thing about The Artful Escape-- not nearly enough people will get to play this gem. It's gotten little to no advertising, it's barely been covered or discussed, and it's surrounded by way bigger releases. Hell, even when it made a *small* splash with its visuals, it was …
