Creed 2 Trailer: Michael B. Jordan Returns To The Ring
Michael Fairbanks June 20, 2018

Creed was one of the most pleasant surprises of 2015. A seemingly innocuous reboot of the Rocky franchise playing on the classic “son of the legend” trope ended up being an emotionally sti…

Black Panther Movie Review: A joyous celebration of Marvel’s newest superhero
Michael Fairbanks February 16, 2018

From the moment that king T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and his entourage fly through a portal into the African wonderland of Wakanda, director Ryan Coogler pulls no punches. He’s come to show us that t…
