It's not perfect, sure, but it's far better than one would expect 'Rocky IX directed by the most handsome man on the planet' to be. It's good!

I had a great time. It's true that it's a little dour and self-serious but it delivers on the drama.

I’ve not seen the last Rocky or any of the Creeds. But I really want to.

White Noise.
Why did everyone hate this again? I thought it was fantastic. Driver is just unfuckwithable here. He's easily the heir apparent to the Day Lewis/Streep tier. He's just unreal good.

Hot off it’s Oscar victories, local theaters are showing Everything Anybody All at One Time this weekend and next week. I’m looking forward to it, despite Jorge’s abject hatred.
