I’ll admit to going into Pixar’s new movie The Good Dinosaur with very low expectations so I’m surprised to say that I rather enjoyed the movie. It’s a really by-the-numbers animated film in theme and plot but it has a … Continue reading
Checked out Creed, the new Rocky sequel/reboot starring Michael B. Jordan as Apollo Creed’s son and Stallone as, well, Rocky Balboa. Adonis Creed (hah) wants to prove something to himself and hiss dead dad by becoming a boxer and he … Continue reading
