Rocketman – Movie Review

ROCKETMAN is an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years. The film follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar Elton John. This inspirational story — set to Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by Taron Egerton — tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture. ‘Rocketman’ also stars Jamie Bell as Elton’s longtime lyricist and writing partner Bernie Taupin, Richard Madden as Elton’s first manager, John Reid, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton’s mother Sheila Farebrother.”

Us – Movie Review

“Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family. After spending a tense beach day with their friends, the Tylers, Adelaide and her family return to their vacation home. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway. ‘Us’ pits an endearing American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.” – Rotten Tomatoes –

Jordan Peele shocked us with his horror debut in “Get Out” two years ago. It might have taken me a while to get used to his unique way to use dark humor in his horror, I wasn’t sure whether to take ‘Get Out’ seriously or not. But what it was was definitely something else and special, and it was about time my beloved horror genre gets a formidable newcomer. And now with Peele’s second horror movie, he surely had a lot to prove. He had to prove not only to his fans but horror fans in general that he isn’t a one-hit wonder. “Us” is definitely a more pureblooded horror compared to ‘Get Out, so I happen to like it more. Without doubt, ‘Us’ has effortlessly cemented Jordan Peele as someone to look out for and a seal of approval and guaranty that his horror would always be unique, innovative, deeply layered and endlessly fascinating. Spoilers from this point onward.

“Teen Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man of his reality, crossing his path with five counterparts from other dimensions to stop a threat for all realities.”

I’ve confessed my dedication and love for Spider-Man on multiple occasion, most recently via “Spider-Man: Homecoming” movie review I wrote. Sam Raimi’s Spidy trilogy, the second movie is probably always going to be my favorite Peter Parker movie, but it had just been dethroned by this new flick as my favorite Spider-Man movie: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
