In the latest chapter, Donnie has retired from heavy weight boxing. He runs a training facility, while his wife Bianca (Thompson) is a successful music producer.

Movie Review: CREED II

CREED II Director: Steven Caple, Jr. Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Dolph Lundgren, Florian Munteanu, Russell Hornsby It’s been thirty years since Apollo Creed was killed in the ring by Russian athlete Ivan Drago (Lundgren). In this age of reboots and reunions, Creed II takes a similar approach to Rocky IV by reuniting Creed and Drago in the ring, but this time it’s the next generation of boxers. Boxing promoter Buddy Marcelle sees an opportunity to pit Apollo’s son, Adonis (Jordan), up against Ivan’s son, Viktor (Munteanu). Despite being the heavyweight champion, Adonis feels the need to prove himself andRead More →

Movie Review: ANNIHILATION

ANNIHILATION Writer/Director: Alex Garland Starring: Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez, Tuva Novotny, Oscar Isaac There will always be a debate as to whether you should read the book first before seeing the movie. In the case of Annihilation, I have never read the novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer. I almost think that’s an advantage going into this movie, as I had no idea what to expect or where it was going. Natalie Portman plays Lena, a biology professor at Johns Hopkins University. It’s been a year since her husband, Kane (Isaac), went missing while serving in the military.Read More →

Movie Review: CREED

CREED Director: Ryan Coogler Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Tony Bellew Maybe after six films moviegoers would have guessed that the Rocky franchise was complete after Sylvester Stallone returned to the role for 2006’s Rocky Balboa. Here we are again with another film in the franchise, but this is considered more of a spinoff as we follow the offspring of Apollo Creed, Carl Weathers’ character in the first four films. His son, Adonis (Jordan), never knew his father who died before he was born. As a young kid, he spent many years in juvie getting into fight after fight untilRead More →
