Next month I'm coming back strong with a theme, but for now lets talk about a very forgotten Stallone picture "Paradise Alley". This film came out between the first two "Rocky" films and sadly it will never garner the attention those movies have generated. Stallone wrote, directed, and starred in this professional wrestling themed movie. Pro-wrestling may be the reason it didn't become as popular as any of the "Rocky" films, because let's face it, no one takes pro-wrestling seriously. "Paradise Alley" follows three brothers involved in an underground wrestling circuit that makes it seem like the physical effects of pro-wrestling are real like any other combat sport. But it isn't just about wrestling, it is about family and life in Hell's Kitchen. This is a movie about people and characters. There are a lot of old school wrestler cameos along with Tom Waits film debut. Stallone sings the theme song as well. Check it out and enjoy.
