The Doors

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 7/24/2019 9:35 AM EST
In less than a year we have had two vastly different but very good musical biopics. Bohemian Rhapsody gave us some vague insight into the world of the Band Queen and its lead singer, Freddy Mercury (Rami Malek; Mr. Robot) while Rocketman offered a grittier and more fantastical view of the legend that is Elton John (Taron Egerton; Kingsman: Th...
