He was the great highlight of the 1988 Winter Olympics and this movie brings all the Olympic spirit of Eddie with a good dose of humor.

Ghosted
There are plenty of stories about spy couples or people discovering that their partner is a spy, secret agent, or something similar -- just look at This Is War! or Mr. and Mrs. Smith. So it's understandable if you feel a bit hesitant when you know that Ghosted (Ghosteado), an exclusive to Apple TV+, is exactly that: a nice guy (Chris Evans) who falls in love with an enigmatic woman (Ana de Armas) and soon discovers she is a secret agent. However, filmmaker Dexter Fletcher (of Rocketman) plays with genre conventions by making a movie that takes things to the extreme, while always letting comedy permeate the story, with great performances from De Armas and Evans. It's not an exceptional film that will stay in your memory forever, but it's hard not to have fun with the story, even if it is conventional.
Rocketman
'Rocketman' combines real history, poetic liberties and fantasy to tell the story of how the shy Reginald Dwight became Elton Hercules John, one of the greatest musicians and pop culture performers in the world. Taron Egerton's performance as the lead is exquisite, as is the period reconstruction and editing - all done just right to combine musical pieces with more dramatic events. The direction is by Dexter Fletcher (producer of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'), and the cast also includes Jamie Bell ('Billy Elliot') and Bryce Dallas Howard ('The Help'). Although the story gets lost among so many memorable songs (especially from the second act), the movie is guaranteed fun for all rock'n'roll fans.
