Creed - 9/10 Amazing. Just amazing. As a massive Rocky fan I've been both waiting for and dredding this movie. Was this going to be yet another Rocky IV ?
No. This is a fantastic combination of paying tribute and carving its own path from the shadows of the franchise. The dozens of little nods to earlier parta are great for fanatics like me but you don't have to have seen any of the previous installment to enjoy Creed.
Michael B. Jordan is fantastic in his portrayal of Adonis Creed and you should watch out for him in the future. However the Sylvester Stallone is the star of the movie. I have been raving on for years that Stallone is a gifted actor and screenwriter and finally the world is taking note. What may be the best acting performance of his career is worthy of an Academy Award and while I'm yet to see the other nominees, I can not see anyone else taking it.
Fully recommended for any movie goer, Rocky fan or not.

The Hateful Eight (2015)
I read a lot of mixed reviews about this one, so I didn't go into it expecting much. Overall I enjoyed the film, but it didn't feel very important, if that makes sense. Some films I watch and I cannot wait to see them again, but this one didn't do that. It was just okay. The only complaint I have, besides Kurt Russel accidently destroying an antique guitar on loan from a museum, was the violence towards the end. It was so excessive that it became comical. The sort of campy violence you see in a low budget horror movie.
Overall I'd give it a 6.5/10
