Anyone heading off to see Creed?

Read a couple of reviews basically saying it's the best movie of the series after the original Rocky, which is a fair wrap.

Michael B Jordan was excellent in Friday Night Lights, and apparently gives a belter of a performance in this one.

I can't believe it could be anywhere near as good as the last Rocky but I will certainly be checking it out. The Rocky Balboa character is up there with any in the history of movies. Truly inspirational and believable. Loved every movie and every montage.

Might be a little late but saw Mission Impossible Rogue Nation on a flight this week. I enjoyed it.

Train wreck. Some pretty funny bits. Just scrapes into this category. John Cena was hilarious

You wouldn't be able to even think about putting this movie in this section without Cena. He was clearly the movies highlight, had me in stitches a few times. The cinema trash talking scene was as funny as anything I have seen this year.

Cena - "You know what I do to arseholes, I lick them"

"He wanna f&$& you"

Saw this one the weekend, very impressed. Quite a sad story, in the end. A man who never got the credit he deserved, being at least one of the people who can be credited for starting the computer revolution.

Cumberbatch seems very adept at playing characters that are eccentric geniuses who resemble socially inept/Asperger's types.

A Sports Doco I watched on Netflix yesterday evening. Great insight into Steroid use in American sport, both amateur and professional.

Mexican drug cartel flick with Benicio del Toro and a female lead who's name escapes me?

If it's what I think it is, I heard it was pretty good. Reckon I'll give it a look, especially after Narcos.
