creed


Sylvester Stallone trains Michael B. Jordan in this visceral and compelling spin-off of the Rocky series. After a lifetime of pugilism, two-time world heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is now retired and living in Philadelphia. But life throws another curveball at Rocky with the appearance of Adonis Johnson Creed (Michael B. Jordan), troubled son of his late rival-turned-friend Apollo Creed. Adonis never knew his father, who died in the ring, but is determined to follow in his footsteps. Rocky reluctantly agrees to become his trainer, even as he takes on an opponent more merciless than any he faced in the ring. Fantastic Four star Michael B. Jordan reunites with Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler, who stamps his own gritty mark on the Rocky franchise with this gripping spin-off movie. For added authenticity, real-life English pro boxer - and former three-time ABA Heavyweight champion - Tony Bellew plays Creed's main opponent 'Pretty' Ricky Conlan.

Daddy's Home


Rival dads Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg go to war in this laugh-out-loud comedy. Mild-mannered, strait-laced Brad (Will Ferrell) is married to Sarah (Linda Cardellini) and works hard to be a good stepdad to her two young children. Unfortunately, they seem resistant to his charms. Matters become even more difficult for Brad when their biological father Dusty (Mark Wahlberg) unexpectedly reappears on the scene. He's everything that Brad isn't: a buff, cool, leather-jacketed, motorbike-riding bad boy dude. Naturally, the kids are overjoyed to see him. Now Brad has a real fight on his hands to win their affections. The Other Guys stars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg reunite for this hilarious comedy of escalating family warfare in which pets, treehouses and even goodnight kisses are used as weapons! The rib-tickling chaos is expertly orchestrated by the writer/director team behind 'Sex Drive' and 'Horrible Bosses 2'.
