“Rocky II” Movie Review
“Rocky 2″ Plot Summary
Rocky struggles in family life after his bout with Apollo Creed, while the embarrassed champ insistently goads him to accept a challenge for a rematch.
I liked it a lot
Rocky 2 is a really good movie however I honestly don’t think its a necessary movie. The only real difference between this movie and the original is that Rocky wins in this one. I wanted Rocky to win in the first one like every underdog movie but the point of the first one was for him to go the distance. This movie is the ending that I would have liked for Rocky I but I honestly don’t think there needed to be a movie just for that. I enjoyed Rocky 2 and its a good sequel but I don’t think the movies necessary and its not necessary in the Rocky time line. I’ve seen worst Sports Movies and I’ve seen better Sports Movies. The movie also deals with how Rocky would seem if he was rich which is entertaining and interesting.

“Taxi Driver” Movie Review
“Taxi Driver” Plot Summary
A mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as nighttime taxi driver in a city whose perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge to violently lash out, attempting to save a teenage prostitute in the process.
Best movie of the Seventies, and one of the greatest of all time.
So much has been written and talked about ‘Taxi Driver’ that it seems almost redundant to add anything more. But watching it again the other night for the nth time I was, as I have been every single time I’ve seen it, struck by just how perfect this movie is. It is as powerful and disturbing now as it was twenty-five years ago. It has not only NOT aged, it gets better and more relevant every year. This is without doubt a modern classic, and one of the handful of truly great, timeless movies
Scorsese and Schrader went on to make other great movies after this, both separately (‘The King Of Comedy’, ‘Light Sleeper’) and together (‘Raging Bull’, ‘The Last Temptation Of Christ’), but this is easily the best movie of their careers. And Robert De Niro’s too. He has yet to top his stunning performance here as the deeply disturbed and alienated Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle, cabbie and would be assassin. This character has not surprisingly entered movie legend. Scorsese surrounds De Niro with a first rate supporting cast, including small but effective roles from Harvey Keitel (‘Reservoir Dogs’), Peter Boyle (‘Hardcore’), the underrated Victor Argo (‘The King Of New York’) and Joe Spinell (‘Maniac’). Albert Brooks and Jodie Foster are also very good, and even Cybil Shepherd, the butt of many jokes, is fine as Bickle’s obsession
When you combine these actors, Schrader’s outstanding script, and Scorsese’s brilliant direction, with the stunning cinematography (Michael Chapman) and haunting score (Hitchcock fave Bernard Herrmann’s final effort), you have yourself a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. If you haven’t seen ‘Taxi Driver’ I urge you to do so immediately. It is a masterpiece, pure and simple.
