The MovieNight screen was graced this week for the second time by the work of director Ryan Coogler (remember Fruitvale Station?). As A. O. Scott put it in his review for The New York Times, “another chapter in the saga of Rocky Balboa” “a terrific boxing movie.” Indeed, Creed is the ultimate (never say never, I guess) sequel to Rocky. Purely great entertainment. Sly was on point too. Nice to see.

On another note, our MovieNight audience demographic was quite surprising… after being cautioned that this was a “guys movie” (you know who you are, Zofi Lipton), the audience was about  65-35 women to men. I mean, maybe the ladies don’t mind looking at Michael B. Jordan, scantily clad. LOL.
