Directed by: Michael B. Jordan Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan Majors, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad As a responsible reviewer, I should note this disclaimer: I have not seen Creed or Creed II.

FlixChatter Review: Samaritan (2022)
It’s been a while since I saw Sylvester Stallone in anything, which was Creed II in 2018 (though he did voice the hilarious shark in The Suicide Squad). The 76-year-old actor remains in good shape so it’s unsurprising that he's drawn to a superhero role, and he still looks believable as one. The story is based …

FlixChatter Double Review: CREED (2015)
I had trepidation about seeing this film as I've only seen one Rocky film and I'm not really a boxing movie fan. But my hubby really wanted to see it, and so we went and am I glad I did. Here's our review: Ted's Review Doing a spinoff of a franchise that hasn’t been a box …
Question of the Week: 80s/90s aging movie stars still in action – Love ’em or Hate ’em?
Tonight I'm going to a screening of 3 Days to Kill. Yes the trailer looks ridiculous and the director is McG so the likelihood of this being good is pretty slim. But y'know what, I'm still going to see it for the nostalgia factor as I quite like Kevin Costner as an action hero, whom …
