Anne Hathaway (Selina Kyle)/The Dark Knight Rises- When I
first heard that Hathaway was cast as the sultry Catwoman (although she is
never called by this name in the film), I was a little worried. Hathaway is attractive, but could she bring
the allure and smolder that is part of this character’s make-up as well. The answer is yes as Hathaway delivers the
best rendition of the character to date.
She’s strong and dangerous. This
is the true Selina Kyle. A master thief with mad fighting skills. No supernatural origin. No magic cats. Just a human being with an advanced skill
set.
Natasha Calis (Emily Brenek)/The Possession- I don’t think
I’ve ever seen as chilling of a stare in a horror movie as Calis delivers
here. She is without a doubt the
standout performer in a decent, but ultimately unremarkable film. Her range is amazing going from a scared out
of her wits child to something that makes your skin crawl when the possession
fully takes her.
Chloe Grace Moretz (Carolyn Stoddard)/Dark Shadows- Again,
the best performer in an otherwise unremarkable film (even with Johnny
Depp). Moretz’s sarcastic and amusing
take on her character teaching Depp’s character about life in the new era to which
he has awoken are easily the best the movie has to offer. Rebellious and isolated, the audience is
again given depth by a child actress.
With all of the adept child actors/actresses there are, it again makes
me angry at George Lucas for giving us Jake Lloyd!
