ROCKETMAN – Movie Review By Steven Skelley
Days of sadness and days of joy with some wonderful music weaving its way throughout.
I saw the ELTON JOHN biopic ROCKETMAN as soon as I could. It is a musical, a biography, a creative re-imagining and a tribute to a musical prodigy who became a household name. It was not at all what I had imagined and more than I could have hoped for. It is a revealing of childhood trauma, business manipulation, romantic abuse, substance abuse and finally a man at peace with himself and his talent and in control of his demons. And the music is simply amazing. <MORE>

Brevard Zoo Is Building a Home for Lions
Disney’s The Lion King was first released in theaters 25 years ago. Since then, we have lost half of Africa’s lion population to habitat loss, the bushmeat trade, trophy hunting and retaliatory killing stemming from human-lion conflict.

This habitat, which will be located in a yet-to-be-determined area of Expedition Africa, is on track for completion in 2021. <MORE>
