I was disappointed with the first Creed largely because I found the main character completely uninteresting. However, I was psyched when I heard the plot of Creed 2. The idea of having the son of Apollo Creed fight the son of Ivan Drago is freaking brilliant. It’s the kind of thing that I would […]
I was the only person in the theater for this movie. Since I started going to the movies every week in August 2014, this is only the third time that that’s happened (the other two such cases being Tusk and The Disappointments Room). I only first heard of this film last week when I […]

As with all heavy metal fans, I am very familiar with Churchill’s famous speech (“We shall go on to the end. We […]
