I still have yet to see Snowpiercer but it does not surprise me. The formula of Wonka has been copied a million times. The Polar Express was pretty open about copying it. But once you look around, you see more and more that roughly follow the outline of Wonka.
Saw Creed II last night, it was soooo good. They were able to keep everything fresh and really nailed the whole Drago vs. Creed storyline. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

Has Netflix released any good movies? Seems like they take all of the feature-length stuff that studios don’t want to release in theaters.
Well, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Which I [expletive] loved. I don't know that I could pick a favorite segment. I enjoyed every last one of them. The last one was perhaps a bit obvious - to the point I was almost expecting a reversal - but it was no less well-executed. Stephen Root is a treasure and should be in every film. "PAN SHOT!"

I really liked it. If you are fan of the franchise you'll like it. One thing I really like about the Creed movies is they do a good job of making the fights more realistic. There are still moments of disbelief, but they seem to have made a concentrated effort to show the flurries of hard punches are only 30-45 seconds of a round. Michael B. Jordan is a damn good actor.

Yep. Hits all the predictable Rocky notes, but will still you get you fired the hell up if that's something you already love. If it's not, this is a very skippable movie, which wasn't the case with CREED. I personally loved it.
While I was watching Buster Scruggs, I was like, "this is a very minor Coen work" and then I couldn't stop thinking about it for two days straight. It's so good. It probably is minor Coen canon, but that's still enough to be a best of the year contender.
