But though Balboa's gloves are hung up (even if Stallone recently paid homage to that character), it looks like we're going to get a 'Rambo 5' that promises to be one of the most thoughtful of the series' sequels.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s ‘The Interview’ Already Has the Best Poster of the Year
One of the reasons why Mondo Posters have become a such a big thing in the geek community is that few modern posters pop these days.

‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Almost Had an Osborn-Centric End Credit Sequence
