Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Movie Review

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning brings the current series to a close and provides a rousing finish. Everything is ramped up to eleven and It pushes improbable to preposterous and remains overdriven throughout its entire 169 minute running time. It barely pauses for a breath.

There is also a curious lack of humour shown as that break in intensity would have helped with the peak energy moments.   // ...

German Film Festival 2025 – I Want It All: Hildegard Knef Movie Review

In her teens she studied acting and that passion to entertain fuelled her life and livelihood for the rest of her days. Her story is one of the brutalities of enduring cancer (and its many surgeries) and the judgemental whims of the conservative times. She acted in German films and post-war was contracted to an American studio that had no idea of what to do with her. Music was an important driver of her success and provided a singing career that transcended acting and lasted throughout her ...
