2015 MURIEL AWARDS: BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
“Writer-director Ryan Coogler remembers. Balboa’s back with the hat, the leather jacket and the bouncy ball, mumbling malapropisms to anyone within earshot. Rocky has endured for so long in the hearts of moviegoers because he’s a character completely lacking in guile, a fighter without a mean bone in his body.” – The Muriel Awards, 02/20/2016

“Another epistemological prank from cinema’s snarkiest philosophers, Hail, Caesar! is a Passion Play played for giggles, with the Golden Age of Hollywood serving as the garden of Gethsemane for yet another in the Coens’ long line of put-upon, serious men. Like most of their films, it’s about the folly of searching for meaning in a cruel and indifferent universe.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 02/08/2016
