So you didn’t think there would be more to Stalone’s Rocky franchise? Well here is Creed ladies and gentlemen! The movie was good, but not great; the ’I’ll fight (the next match) if you fight (cancer)" tugged at a few heart strings – as did the re-make of the theme song, but that’s about it. E… |

John Hamm is great as he brings Baseball closer to Bollywood in ‘Million Dollar Arm’. This family pleaser offers solid entertainment for everyone. |

Inspiring tale of an inner-city high school basketball coach who went the distance for his players. |

A fine basketball movie, elevated to true inspiration given that it is about a transcendent moment in American race relations: the first all black team to compete for – and win – the NCAA championship. |
