'Easy A' CP? 

.... by the way more than half of your movies are re-makes or sequels. However, most of those I'm seeing too

We need to get some good movies out in theaters soon. It's sad when Green Hornet has been the biggest box office hit so far for the year and it's damn near March

Has anybody seen the movie Snatch? Just caught it last night. If so, what'd you think?

*shrugs*  Wife wanted to see it, Emma Stone, why not?  I'll give just about anything a look at some point.  

April is when stuff starts droppin.  (mainstream wise at least)  All sequels mind you, but whatever. 

All those are the same to me.  Snatch, Lock/Stock, Revolver, Layer Cake, all the Guy Ritchie type movies.  I like them all, but they all blur together for me. 

For this weekend I have Faster, The Mechanic, Due Date, and The Next Three Days.  7-8 hours of nothingness I'm sure.

The easy answer: Since "Rocky" captured the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1976, Hollywood has churned out an average of one boxing movie per year. That's astonishing, especially when the average American sports fan can name only four active boxers right now: Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather and the Klitschko brothers, whom nobody can identify individually beyond, "I think one of them dates Hayden Panettiere." The complete roll call since 1976: "Rocky"; "The Greatest"; "Rocky II"; "The Champ"; "The Main Event"; "Penitentiary"; "Raging Bull"; "Body and Soul"; "Penitentiary II"; "Rocky III"; "Tough Enough"; "Rocky IV"; "Teen Wolf II"; "Penitentiary III"; "Rocky V"; "Play It to the Bone"; "Gladiator"; "Diggstown"; "When We Were Kings"; "The Great White Hype"; "The Hurricane"; "The Boxer"; "Rocky Marciano"; "Girlfight"; "Ali"; "Undisputed"; "Million Dollar Baby"; "Against the Ropes"; "Cinderella Man"; "Undisputed II"; "Rocky Balboa"; "Resurrecting the Champ"; "The Hammer"; "Fighting"; "The Fighter."

Best part of that list: Hollywood giving up and calling its last two efforts "Fighting" and "The Fighter." Get ready for "Fight," "Punch" and "Ow" in the next few years.

 

An excerpt from Simmons review of The Fighter on ESPN.  Can't believe all these boxing movies,  I never realized it was that many.
