Creed follows Adonis Johnson, son of legendary boxer Apollo Creed, as he convinces former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Babloa to train him. I am a pretty big fan of the Rocky franchise. I have seen every single film, except for the fifth (we do not speak of it). The first Rocky film is easily one…
It has been a long time since I posted a review, but with all the future releases, I will be posting plenty of reviews. First things first, this film is not bad. There are aspects of it that are not done exceptionally well, but for the most part it is a perfectly serviceable film with…
I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening of this film, and I am glad I was given the opportunity because I want to make sure people see this film. Right of the bat, I want to make something clear: this is not the best film of the year. There are several flaws with…
This review is a couple of weeks late, but I would be remiss if I had not written about it. I am not the biggest fan of “Biopics”. Often times I find them enjoyable, but they lack heart. Studios figure they can make a biographical picture and end up getting some sort of Oscar consideration.…
I have been a pretty big fan of Guy Ritchie. The first film that I saw from him was Rock N Rolla. I thought it was a really enjoyable film that lacked substance. Since then, I have noticed that Ritchie consistently brings flair to his films, but struggles with a compelling narrative. The Man From…
Well, Marvel did it again. I was never one of those people who thought Ant-Man would be a bad film, but I never imagined I would enjoy it more than Avengers: Age of Ultron. Yep, there I said it: “This film is better than Avengers: Age of Ultron“. Is it Marvel’s best film? No, but…
Before I get into the review of the actual film, I do want to explain about how I first heard of it. About 2 years ago, in my freshman film class, we were given a stack of screenplays. Our assignment was to choose one, read it, and finally assign a cast a crew to the…
I myself have never been a die-hard terminator fan. I like the first two a lot, think the third one isn’t very good, and the fourth one is utter garbage. When this film was announced I was not too excited, and even thought it looked pretty bad. I saw very negative reviews pouring out and…
It has been a while since Pixar has made a film that I truly loved. Ever since Toy Story 3, I feel as though the company went a little downhill. They reached rock bottom with Cars 2, and both Brave and Monster’s University (while good) were not among their best films. However, I am so…
Life finds a way. Such powerful words from a powerful film. Unfortunately, this is not a powerful film with no lines of dialogue quite as powerful as that. This is a poorly written, ill-conceived film that is incredibly entertaining. Now do not get me wrong, the film is not very good (it is okay) but…
