So, 20th Century Fox has decided to take the very unconventional route of re-releasing a pretty successful film which debuted less than seven months ago, but making some very interesting adjustments along the way.

Time for a Reel CREED II review
Anyone that claims to be a fan of the “Rocky/Creed” films will tell you (maybe admit should be a more fitting term here), there are a couple of variables that each of these movies have in common.

Time for a Reel THE HATE U GIVE review
It should come as no surprise that due to the overall current state of our nation, the divide between one another has never been greater.
