Florence Foster Jenkins came out in 2016. We skipped the movie during its theatre run because I didn’t think this story was for me. Turns out, I was entirely right. Meryl Streep (Florance Foster Jenkins) was nominated for two Oscars with this performance, in case you didn’t know. I understand this story is based on … More Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)
We don’t usually review TV shows or mini-series here, but had to bend the rules for our favourite actress, Rebecca Ferguson. Before Mrs. Ferguson became Ilsa in Mission Impossible or Jenny Lind in The Greatest Showman, she was Dinah, the only daughter of Jacob, born in The Red Tent. She broke my heart in this … More The Red Tent (2014)
A One-Way Trip to Antibes tore me in two different directions. First, it was super tough to watch Rebecca Ferguson in a role where she is a theft. Her personal life is a mess, and she has evil intentions to screw over our main character George (Sven-Bertil Taube). She is sly and cunning, using every … More En enkel till Antibes / A One-Way Trip to Antibes (2011)
Drowning Ghost turned out to be one of the hardest movies I’ve ever tracked down online. After hours of research, I finally found this rather unknown Swedish movie. According to IMDb, this is Rebecca Ferguson’s first credit movie role. Don’t get your hopes up, because her Amanda character is barely in the movie. We always … More Strandvaskan / Drowning Ghost (2004)
The only reason I dared to watch Despite the Falling Snow was that Rebecca Ferguson was in it. I’ve never been a huge fan of Cold War-related spy movies, so this would have never been on my radar at any given time. Rebecca takes on a dual role in the film, playing the American spy … More Despite the Falling Snow (2016)
6/10 Men in Black moved on from Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, which I am okay with because Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson do their best to make up for the loss. I’ve always been a fan of the franchise, so I appreciate the humour and silliness that comes with fighting aliens who don’t … More Men in Black International (2019)
The latest chapter of the Mission Impossible franchise is being hailed as one of 2018’s best movies. Those high scores may be based on several different statements, like Henry Cavill fist fighting with Tom Cruise, endless car and helicopter chases, or the fact that Michelle Monaghan returned to add more drama to the finale. Maybe people … More Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)
It is probably no secret at this point I am not a fan of musicals. The Greatest Showman was something I was looking forward to because it looked amazing and my favorite actress was in it. Now there are a lot of songs in this film, some great and handful of alright songs. If you … More The Greatest Showman (2017)
If you got up today and looked up news on The Snowman, you would have learnt that the author of the best-seller, Jo Nesbo, has decided to longer be part of the promotional tour for the movie. That honestly sums up how bad this movie turned out to be. I was so excited for this … More The Snowman (2017)
7/10 Life is not for the faint of heart. If you manage to get through all the disgusting death scenes and rotating camera angles, you will be driven crazy by a string of silly/stupid decisions made by smart people. Despite several cliché moments and a predictable ending, Life is one of the most intense movies … More Life (2017)
