Saw the Elton John movie Rocketman last night. I believe a lot of people won't like it but I thought it was very well done. Assuming most of it is true (Elton was the Executive Producer of the film) it certainly gives a lot of insight into who he is. A lot of parallels with Bohemian Rhapsody.
7.5/10

More a documentary than movie: What's My Name: Muhammad Ali. 8/10
I know the story, but I am a sucker for any Muhammad Ali documentary. (The best is still When We Were Kings) I thought What's My Name was well done as it was all in time interviews and fight footage. The fight footage alone makes it great.
MA - 5/10. More suspense than horror, I'd say. Octavia Spencer is really great, but the movie overall could have been better.
Watched Kong, Skull Island last night. What a terrible movie.
Room - 8/10. Brie Larson and Jacob Tremblay were both very, very good.

I actually liked that movie too, I liked Captain Marvel as well. I can’t stand her SJW attitude but she makes good movies.
Only bad thing about her acting is that they should have had her stunt double do all of her running in Cap Marvel, she has the ugliest/weirdest looking run I have ever seen. It’s like she has never moved faster than a walk in her regular life. It looked weird.
I did like Room as well though, it was pretty good. Of course she didn’t have to run...
I Am Mother on Netflix. I really enjoyed it.
Watched Django Unchained this afternoon, saw Rocket Man this evening.
Rocketman - It was ok. More of a play/musical than I expected. I expected it to be more like Bohemian Rhapsody and only have singing in a concert type setting but they would just break out in song whenever. I think Egerton did a good job.
Currently watching The 15:17 to Paris and this shit is terrible, lol.
Watched the Adam Sandler Jennifer Anniston Netflix move. Pretty terrible. 3/10
Took family to see the new Aladdin. Quite entertaining. 8/10 minimum.
/Kong, Skull Island.
4.8/8. Entertaining enough, and Brie Larson is hot.
Crazy Rich Asians - 7/10. A solid romantic comedy.
White Boy Rick 6/10 Matthew McConaughey was outstanding, and I thought the actors were scummy enough to fit their characters. Even though it was based on a true story, it seemed cheesy--and the ebonics were tough to understand a lot of the time.
Captive State - It was ok but kind of boring. 5 or 5.5
Watched the new "Child's Play" yesterday.
Ehh..
At the Heart of Gold. Very well done, very depressing.
Toy Story 4. Animation was excellent. Story was pretty good. Probably not the best Toy Story.
8/10
