    Rewatching for Christmas Creeps.

    Honestly? A better Die Hard 2 than Die Hard 2. Carry-On is just all around a treat.

    Rocky Marciano

    ★★★

    A pretty by-the-numbers TV movie about one of the boxing greats, but features a few flashes of greatness.

    Jon Favreau came to play, getting absolutely jacked for the boxing sequences, but the sound design on the punches is just silly. Every punch sounds like Indiana Jones slugging a Nazi.

    The late-film relationship between Rocky and Joe Louis is a nice touch there at the end. Overall pretty slight, but not bad.

    What if Tool made a music video where Billy Ray Cyrus became Dr. Manhattan?

    I am very tempted to call this a direct influence on My Cousin Vinny, but I know how ridiculous that sounds.
