    Thursday Movie Picks: Femme Fatales

    Femme Fatales

    Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.

    Today’s theme is Femme Fatales, so here are my choices!

    Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)

    The first “femme fatale” I can ever remember seeing in a movie – Jessica Rabbit! Roger’s sexy toon wife, Jessica, gets caught up in the murder mystery for which her husband is framed. Katherine Turner’s husky voice was really perfect for the role, and I remember thinking how badass Jessica seemed to be. I was also envious of her cleavage at the time. Not so much anymore because… oh man, the back pain!

    Amy Dunne (Gone Girl)

    After discovering her husband’s infidelity, Amy Dunne concocts a diabolical plan of revenge. Having read the book, it was difficult to imagine anyone really inhabiting the role of Amy, but Rosamund Pike was absolute perfection, and I still think she was robbed of that Oscar. Amy is so cold-blooded, but at the same time… I mean… you can’t help but maybe feel some satisfaction for her success. Her husband Nick is an absolute garbage person, also played to perfection by Ben Affleck. These two really do deserve each other. But yes, Amy Dunne is one of my favorite movie/book characters. I am not sorry!

    Dominika Egorova (Red Sparrow)

    Red Sparrow is a 2018 spy thriller that flew under the radar. Jennifer Lawrence plays Dominika Egorova, a Russian ballerina whose brutal injury ends her career, leading her to the Sparrows, a group of SVR operatives who seduce their targets with sexpionage. It’s a bit of a mind-bendy thriller where you constantly question who Dominika is and what her end game might be. I’m probably in the minority, but I really enjoyed this one.
