Movie Review: FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS

FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS Director: Stephen Frears Starring: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, Simon Helberg, Rebecca Ferguson, Nina Arianda, John Kavanagh I would place a bet on Meryl Streep earning her 20th Oscar nomination with her role as Florence Foster Jenkins. Am I reaching too early? It’s doubtful given the nature of the role and the pedigree of those around her. Jenkins was a New York socialite who dreamed of being a well-known opera singer. Her husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Grant), was a British Shakespearean actor and they performed together at the Verdi Club. Despite her failing health, she thought it was the right time to get backRead More →

Movie Review: RICKI AND THE FLASH

RICKI AND THE FLASH Director: Jonathan Demme Starring: Meryl Streep, Mamie Gummer, Kevin Kline, Audra McDonald, Rick Springfield, Sebastian Stan, Nick Westrate, Ben Platt Get ready to hear Meryl Streep singing Lady Gaga. That’s right! It’s only the intro of “Bad Romance”, but who would have thought these two worlds would ever collide. Streep stars as Ricki Rendazzo who fronts a rock cover band that continues to play gigs at a lonely dive bar. Her life is basically falling apart at the seams, as she’s broke, living in a dumpy apartment, and makes a small wage working at a Whole Foods-inspired grocery store. There’s alsoRead More →
