Female action heroes didn’t necessarily begin with Angelina Jolie, but I’m happy to give her the credit. No longer a girl herself, Angie the Godmother can be damn proud of Hailee Steinfeld, ChloĆ« Grace Moretz, Jennifer Lawrence and Noomi Rapace. These Tough Girls are gonna form Best Actress nomination slates for the next quarter century.
Title IX indeed.

3rd Kick-Ass
2010 Great 114 Points

Chloƫ Grace Moretz

Convulsively funny, gleefully inappropriate and brilliantly executed, Kick-Ass exuberantly fulfills its title. A high school comedy as much as a spoof on superheroes, it deftly mines the touchst…

4th True Grit
2010 Great 100 Points

Hailee Steinfeld

Darker and more realistic than the 1969 original featuring John Wayne, this 21st Century retelling of a classic Wild West retribution story succeeds in almost every respect — often funny, richly e…

Noomie Rapace

Hollywood must be licking its chops to remake this Swedish hit. Chockablock with career-making roles, combining fashionable anti-capitalist politics with feminist blood-lust, and striking a crispl…
