The greatest underdog story of our time is back for one final round of the Academy Award-winning Rocky franchise. Former heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa steps out of retirement and back into the ring, putting himself against a new rival in a dramatically different era. After a virtual boxing match declares Rocky Balboa the victor over current champion Mason “The Line” Dixon, the legendary fighter’s passion and spirit are reignited. But when his desire to fight in small, regional competitions is trumped by promoters calling for a rematch of the cyber-fight, Balboa must weigh the mental and physical risks of a high profile exhibition match against his need to be in the ring.

May 7, 2007: Benz joins Rambo 4:
No self-respecting action film would be complete without a delicious young hottie bumping uglies and subsequently falling in love with the much older male lead and so "Dexter" co-star Julie Benz has landed the female lead in JOHN RAMBO, the second leg of...

already be aware of a "JoBlo comic book" that we've been

December 27, 2006: Alpha Dog/Rocky sites:
It’s hard to believe ALPHA DOG is finally being released but, after all that delay, it ultimately snagged a date in the coveted mid-January slot (the 12th to be exact). Much like Universal has hooked the film up with such clutch timing, so to have they went...

November 16, 2006: Final Rocky trailer:
Of all the JoBlo.com secrets (talk about skeletons in the closet), spastic anticipation for ROCKY BALBOA hasn't exactly been the most well kept. In fact, we wear it like a badge and if you give us any lip about it, well, then we must break you. Sure, upon first...

July 10, 2006: Rocky 6 trailer!:
ROCKY BALBOA 's got something left in the basement. And it's not the bodies of
