Three Musicals this year – Rocketman is probably the best.
Frozen II
No Comments
(2.5 Stars) As to be expected, terrific visuals. But the story is a little weak and the songs aren’t memorable.
Rocketman
No Comments
(3.5 Stars) Elton John’s life presented as a musical – great entertainment.
Lion King
No Comments
(2 Stars) A retelling of the original story with amazing computer-animation technology. Watch it if you, or your family, didn’t see the original.
Mary Poppins Returns
No Comments
(2 Stars) Might be good for families, but most adults are going to ask ‘Who asked her to return?’
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) A Coen Brothers film and a collection of six stories, each of which will puzzle and amuse.
