I can hear it now, the all encompassing theme to “Rocky” — “Gonna Fly Now.” Whenever, I hear that music I get goose-pimples all over my ass. And after five installments of the “Rocky” franchise, that’s about all that gets me excited about the movies anymore. Needless to say, most of the sequels have been…
Come Christmas time, or should I say Holiday time (for all the politically correct douchebags out there), Hollywood without question drops the old rags-to-riches, feel good movies into our laps. So it is no surprise that The Pursuit of Happyness shows up just in time for the gift exchange. Even though most folks who know…
