William Hopson dives deep into how the power of Elton John music elevated his classic music to new heights in 2019’s Rocketman.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is the bold kind of fantasy that is more than welcome from the Henson studio in the 21st century.
Rocketman is big screen entertainment done right, an inventive rock-opera that brims with energy and color.

Between last year’s successful Bohemian Rhapsody and the upcoming Rocketman, music biopics seem to be all the current rage in Hollywood.

I have been following the production of Eddie The Eagle for a very long time it seems. I’m a great devotee of director Dexter Fletcher (Sunshine On Leith is excellent), I love a good sports movie, even better, I love a British underdog sports movie. Of course, if you know me or are familiar with me at all you’ll know I also absolutely adore Taron Egerton.
Earlier this year, while getting all excited for the release of Kingsman, I decided to watch Colin Firth and his still unheard of co-star being interviewed on The Jonathan Ross Show. I think it only took five minutes for me to fall for Taron Egerton. His familiar soft Welsh accent, his charisma, his wit, but also his modesty really touched a chord with me.
From the minute of its inception I had high hopes for Legend.

First, think of the most overused plot of an espionage action thriller. Throw in a young, rebellious kid who dares to walk in his father’s once-proud footsteps. Finally, mix in a cartoonish super-villian with unbelievable plans to destroy the world and a super-secret spy agency that is at their wit’s end in their attempts to stop him.
