Movie Reviews and Previews Creed II is the good stuff The first trailer for Creed II just dropped and Kathleen is too busy to watch it. This is her nightmare. No one loves Michael B.

Golden Globes 2016 Sylvester Stallone: Golden Globes omission BALBOA!!! For months I've been hoping for this one. Sylvester Stallone is the sentimental favourite of this award season.
