Let’s not mince words: Creed was effing brilliant! And not only has the Ryan Coogler directed sequel/reboot of the Rocky franchise wowed critics around the world, but audiences are responding to it as well. In the month or so that it’s been on the circuit, it’s pulled in about $115 million dollars – which may not seem a lot when stacked …
This week’s two biggest releases are all about nostalgia, with the new Peanuts movie vying for attention next to another trip down memory lane, Creed. You’ll be glad to know that both come very highly recommended, and we don’t have to bemoan modern movies ruining our childhood favourites. Damn, I guess we’ll have to find something else to be outraged …
When the news broke earlier in the week that Sylvester Stallone was producing a new Rambo and son TV series spinoff, there was a deafening din on the internet caused by the violent gnashing of teeth as fans angrily lamented “WHY?!”.

During an episode of the Meet the Movie Press Podcast (via Latino-Review), The Wrap’s Jeff Sneider dropped the bomb that Lucasfilm …
Rocky movies have always had a simple formula: Fists first, with an intensity dialled up to 11 when that final round is dinged in. 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 …
If you weren’t a fan of Tim Story’s campy-bad 2005 Fantastic Four film and its somehow even more inferior 2007 sequel, then there’s a lot to like in the newly rebooted Fantastic Four. Unfortunately, that’s swiftly followed by a whole lot more to dislike intensely, as this second attempt by Fox (third, if you count the shelved 90’s Roger Corman …
Out of the 3 major comic book movies being released in 2015, the one that I’m actually most eager to see is Fox’s new Fantastic Four reboot.
