I could definitely be biased, but this fall the film "Creed" starring Michael B. Jordan is a must see. Aside from the fact that the handsome Michael B. is lead in the film, Sylvester Stalone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad and Wood Harris star in the film as well. The newest addition to the Rocky franchise is the story of Apollo Creed's son Adonis who ends up fighting for the Creed legacy. There are the branches or various relationships and the exploration of fighting to live against all odds. But there's Michael B. Jordan! (Can you see my bias?) Check out the trailer below.
