New Trailer: ‘Creed,’ The Reboot Of The Rocky Franchise

07.1.2015 | By Jack Rico |

The Rocky franchise is getting a reboot with ‘Creed‘, the saga which continues with the son of Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa’s original arch nemesis. The first trailer is officially out, which you can see above along with Sylvester Stallone playing in a supporting role, but what makes us not discard this reboot altogether is the director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan. Both gave us one of the best indie dramas of 2013. With that same tone, Coogler plans on reinvigorating the classic, crowd pleasing franchise with a more youthful, dramatic vibe. will it work? it just might. ‘Creed’ opens on November 25, 2015.

This Week In Movies: ‘Magic Mike XXL,’ ‘Terminator Genisys,’ ‘Amy’

06.29.2015 | By Jack Rico |

This week in movies, a very small amount of releases, seven to be exact, are trying to garner the attention of moviegoers this weekend. The big commercial releases have Arnold (not to mention nostalgia), returning to his title role and Channing Tatum, along with his friends, takes their shirts off for the ladies and men looking for a striptease! But besides those sequels and franchise options, two Hispanic themed documentaries merit some attention such as: Cartel Land and Mala Mala. Both breakdown current social realities that push at the traditional American way of life. Read More

The Vulture Festival’s Special Screening Of ‘The Overnight’

06.19.2015 | By Felix Dalgo |

*Note: This review appeared originally on June 3rd.

Let me start by mentioning this, I have always been a fan of the Netflix Original Series â€œOrange is the New Blackâ€ most notably of the character â€˜Piper Chapmanâ€™ portrayed by the actress Taylor Schilling. So when I was told that the New York Vulture Festival had invited ShowBizCafe.com to the special screening of the film â€œThe Overnightâ€ starting Taylor Schilling, I was pleased that I would be able to see her as a character other then â€˜Piper Chapmanâ€™ which I am so used to. I arrived at the Tribeca Theaters in Varick Street well before showtime. As I entered the theater I was greeted by the Vulture Festival staff, had a small chat with them about how much we were looking forward to this film and Schillingâ€™s portrayal of not â€˜Piper Chapman.â€™ Read More

It’s the second week of June, which means two things: #1) Summer is about to officially begin. #2) Summer movies are hitting the big screen! And this week is proof of that, with films like The Overnight (read our review), a great comedy with Jason Schwartzman, Adam Scott and the very popular Taylor Schilling; about a crazy night between two couples in a Los Angeles home.
