I’m not sure where I was or what I was doing when I first heard news of a Rocky spinoff, but you better believe my reaction was a series of enthusiastic fist pumps into the air. And for anyone that still has a flip phone, locked up in a house against their will in Cleveland, OH or just sadly aren’t in the know about what the cloud is really all about, Creed is the seventh film in the Rocky series, so to speak, and is the story of Apollo Creed’s son. You remember him, right? Apollo Creed as in Rocky’s arch nemesis in the first two films turned compadre in the next two subsequent ones. Pretty cool, huh? So nonetheless, I was very elated to be going into last week’s press screening of…okay I can say it now in a deep voice…CREED (not the band documentary, the fictional boxing film). And for anyone who doesn’t know what the Rocky franchise means to me, let me refresh your memory.

The movie title No Escape (not the 1994 one) sounds so familiar, doesn’t it? At least to me it does. It sounds like it could easily be a name of a KISS song from the 1980s or something when they were struggling to find their sound during the Killers era, but I digress. Perhaps what shocked me even more was seeing Owen Wilson on the movie poster when I first received the press invite to cover this one months ago. I instantly thought why have I never heard of this film and of course what is funny man Owen Wilson doing in a film like this. I almost dismissed this one had it not been for the trailer. After viewing it I thought wow if it’s a great story and Owen Wilson can really pull this one off, it could be quite good me thinks. After all, I thought his brother Luke did a great job in the serious role he portrayed in 2007’s Vacancy, one of my earliest Blu-ray titles in my collection (a little Brian White trivia for ya). So let’s do this. Let’s talk some No Escape now on Blu-ray.

Little Loopers is a young teen-focused film that is not so entertaining for older crowds. Full of fart jokes and other juvenile jokes, it is kind of hard to watch for this viewer. This movie is OK, but nothing spectacular. Read on and I’ll tell you why.
