Photo credit: Paramount I actually liked this movie more than I expected to. This isn’t to imply that I have qualms with Elton John’s music; how could I? I just feel fatigued by the overwhelming number of by-the-numbers biopics released each year, but thankfully Rocketman (mostly) manages to transcend a tired genre. The creative choice … Continue reading “Rocketman” Review
Photo credit: Warner Bros. Bigger isn’t always better. This is the cold, hard truth that Godzilla: King of the Monsters can never fully reconcile with.
