Well, LORDS OF FLATBUSH, although that's really an ensemble film (plus, it was filmed, during the summer, at my high school, so I saw all these guys in the 'hood while it was happening). Let's face it, even at his best, Stallone is so-so.

(I'm not even a ROCKY person.) Lemme check. Oh, I guess CLIFFHANGER was okay. COBRA was stupid fun. Pretty much ends there. I’m trying to think if there’s any Stallone movie I ever liked.

Goofy, but harmless...it's just NOT Judge Dredd. The sad part is, if you changed the costumes and called the movie something else, it’s not a bad Stallone sf picture.

At least the new paperbacks keep the tone of the original comic. Also Strontium Dog still rules just wish those really nice strip collections were a bit cheaper to import. Since they are really nice put together and have everything from the 2000 AD run. I'll just have to make due with the paperbacks I have that read like good westerns. Which is what the whole series was, just a western with space and aliens as its background.
