Bohemian Rhapsody is a well-made, watchable enough record of one of the most popular rock bands of all time, but it never rises above being a standard-issue biopic to become a great film imbued with the great drama of a great life.

The first clue that the film wasn't going to be the balls-out Freddie Mercury story so many were hoping for had to be the title — it's not called Mercury, after all, and that's because, as a project on which the surviving members of Queen collaborated, it's more a legacy-solidifying reminder of the band's accomplishments and a mere teaser of what may have made its dynamic lead singer tick.

In short, it's all just a bit too authorized.

Happy 96th to Doris Day! She is arguably the greatest living overall star — I chose her as such for my massive list of all performers 80+! — and is undeniably a living legend: Music, movies, TV and her personal life (and animal activism) has certainly helped to make her an enduring pop cultural touchstone.

If only she would agree to accept an honorary Oscar in person, it would be hers for the taking.

Check out a birthday tribute here, with Rick Gould's thoughtful essay on becoming a fan of hers after initially finding her to be corny as H-E-double-hockeysticks. 

After the jump, Doris does Johnny Carson ...

I spent part of 2017 and all of 2018 raving about Call Me by Your Name, but in 2016 and part of 2017, it was all about Moonlight.

I took a very special person to see it, and so will forever remember how impactful it was, not only as a piece of art, but as a bonding experience.

One of the most touching performances in the film was by André Holland, that cook at the end. So effortlessly sexy and such a seamless transition by the actor from the actor playing his younger self!

Tonight, I was excited to meet Holland, who attended a VIP reception at Tuscany Steakhouse (117 W. 58th St., NYC) in honor of his upcoming directorial debut, a play called Dutch Masters ...
