Thank god for this, I’m sick of seeing the same bold type posters being worshipped on blogs like AisleOne every fucking day. Every “impressive portfolio” featured no better than the last.

Great Rambo review from the SF Chronicle

The “Rocky” movies are all about finding victory in defeat. It doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. The films are about struggle and consolation, about coming to terms with the disappointments and limitations of life and finding satisfaction in the honest exertion of effort.

Rambo movies are about the reverse. They’re about finding defeat in victory. Rambo always wins, but it never matters. The world remains horrible - and everything horrible is seen as a reflection of Rambo’s own inner life.

I saw the movie tonight, and it gets two thumbs way up.
