Rogue One : A Star Wars story is a great movie and a prequel to starwars movie series. The planets and the satellites that they show are mapped to real ones.

Instead of R2-D2, there is a new droid K-2SO.

A Saturn-sized planet in our own galaxy reminded Nasa scientists so much of the fiction...

Kamal ends up sitting in the office wounded to act like nothing has happened.

For all those great Rocky Balboa fans, Creed is a great movie where Balboa changes as coach to Apollo Creed's son.  Rocky has been a great movie series for me.  It was great when I was a kid to watch and grow up thinking one day I will be rocky balboa - physically. It was great today when I went with my father to watch the movie. We watched Rocky III in 1982, Rocky IV in 1985, Rocky V in 1990 and Rocky VII in 2015. I remember talking to dad regarding Rocky VI in 2006. It was great to watch in...
