“Set to the backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ continues the team’s adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage.”
—IMDB
One word: amazing! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 does not disappoint. The film looks at the characters allowing for character growth while also establishing a family unit for the characters. The movie goes back to trace back the origins of Peter/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt). But there’s more to this film than just that. It had heart and focuses on the Guardians not just as a group of heroes or friends, but as a family. And that’s one of the things that makes this film so good because everyone focuses on the characters and their dynamics with one another. They care about each other, they fight with one another and for one another. They are a strong unit and the cast and crew make sure that that resonates off the screen.

The Legacy Lives On | Review of ‘Creed’
By Cynthia Ayala
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures & Warner Bros. Pictures
Adonis Creed wants to make a name for himself. Quitting his job, he leaves Hollywood, CA and travels to Philadelphia in the hopes of tracking down Rocky, hoping he will train in. Drawn in by Adonis’ determination and strength the two team up, train, and face off against a champion who has nothing left to lose.
Starring Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan, Creed is the film that rightfully closes the door on the legacy (if that’s even possible) while it passes on the torch for future generations.

Nicolas Cage, Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes And Milla Jovovich In Talks For Expendables 3
By: Eric Eisenberg The Expendables franchise is all about getting bigger and bigger with each installment. When the first film came out in 2010 he brought together amazing action stars like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham and more, but they upped the ante in 2012 with Expendables 2 , which also added Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, and Scott Adkins … Continue reading Nicolas Cage, Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes And Milla Jovovich In Talks For Expendables 3
Expendables 3 Still Going After Wesley Snipes And Jackie Chan
By: Eric Eisenberg When it comes to the Expendables franchise the key word is escalation. With The Expendables 2 the muscled-up group of actors truly raised the bar with extended roles for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis as well as parts for Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Scott Adkins. So with Expendables 3 they somehow have to push it even further and bring in more luminaries of the genre. And they … Continue reading Expendables 3 Still Going After Wesley Snipes And Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan Is Up For The Expendables 3
By: Sean O’Connell We’re a little hesitant to jump on any Expendables casting announcements. After all, we’ve been burned before. (Yes, Nicolas Cage, we’re looking at you.) But the latest action icon claiming to be part of Sylvester Stallone’s announced sequel is going on record as saying he’s “in,” and his addition – if real – would makes sense (and be awesome). Jackie Chan is busy promoting his … Continue reading Jackie Chan Is Up For The Expendables 3
The Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal Joins Stallone And De Niro In Grudge Match
By: Kelly West Jon Bernthal’s run on AMC’s The Walking Dead may be over (for the most part, anyway), but the actor certainly isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. In addition to having a starring role in a new TV pilot in the works, he’s also set to appear in The Wolf on Wall Street and now he has another interesting role lined up, playing the son of Robert De Niro‘s … Continue reading The Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal Joins Stallone And De Niro In Grudge Match
