The best Rocky movies are all about that final showdown, and the build-up to it. And in many ways, that’s just what the spin-off film Creed is emulating. But at the same time, who knew that …
[column size=one_half position=first ] Growing old is tough… unless you are Bruce Campbell. The legendary actor has always had an interesting career: from cult icon to scraping the bottoms of B-movie barrels to lately enjoying quite a stellar time on television. During that span Campbell has appeared in some truly dodgy productions and to call out his worst film is …
A new weekend, and two new movies! After a month of tepid performances from various flicks, the box office saw some semblance of activity again.
