Rocketman (2019)

I was around 17 when I was introduced to Elton John's music and it was love at first sight sound. No matter what mood I am in, there's always room for his music in my life because, whether it's a sad song, a happy, joyous one, or something just danceable, he always makes me feel something. It comes without saying that I was very excited about Dexter Fletcher's Rocketman and, having read plenty of positive reviews, I also had very high expectations. Expectations that were met as Fletcher's is a flamboyant and highly entertaining musical fantasy film, an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish.

50/50 (2011)

There's plenty of movies dealing with cancer, but the majority doesn't really know how to handle the subject properly and usually ends up being either the overly emotional type or the "living life to the fulled" type. It didn't seem like 50/50 was going to be one of those so I checked it out. 

Based on a true story, it follows Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a 27-year-old radio journalist in Seattle who lives with her girlfriend, Rachel (Bryce Dallas Howard), of whom his best friend and co-worker, Kyle (Seth Rogen), disapprove. After experiences back pain for a while, he goes to the doctor only to be diagnosed with a rare form of spinal cancer. At first, he handles all with ease as he starts counselling with Katie (Anna Kendrick), a young phycologist, but as he begins chemotherapy, everything gets more complex — her relationship with Rachel, his friendship with Kyle, and his overbearing, needy mother, (Anjelica Huston).

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

While many didn't like Jurassic World as it basically is just copy of Jurassic Park, I enjoyed it. I found it entertaining and fun, in other words, how a dinosaurs flick is supposed to be. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a whole different story. I wasn't even that hyped about it. 

Four years after the Jurassic World theme park was closed down, as the volcano on the island is about erupt and, once again, kill all the dinosaurs, there's a debate going on on the mainland about whether they should save the animals or let them die. The US government decides not to rescue them, so Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), John Hammond's former partner in developing the technology, enlists the help of former park manager Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) and former dinosaur trainer Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) for a secret rescue mission to send the animals on a new island.
