JULIANNE MOORE
(1960-present)
This is rather embarrassing on my part, since it never really registered that agent Clarice Starling was played by two different women, with Ms. Moore in 'Hannibal' (2001). Maybe that's not such a bad thing, really, since the changeover was pretty seamless. Well done.

JAMIE LEE CURTIS
(1958-present)
Requested by Carla of Nakamura's Place, Jamie Lee Curtis is more than memorable as Laurie Strode, Michael Myers' younger sister, in the 'Halloween' franchise. If that wasn't enough, Ms. Curtis was cast in another John Carpenter film, 'The Fog' (1980), as well as 'Prom Night' (1980), 'Terror Train' (1980), and 'Virus' (1999), among others. Now, I haven't seen the third or fourth movie that was mentioned just before, but I certainly intend to.

MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ
(1978-present)
Step aside, Milla Jovovich, because while you may be the crux of the 'Resident Evil' films, Michelle Rodriguez was the woman that earned my admiration. Also appearing in 'The Breed' (2006) and apparently will be in the upcoming 'Machete' movie (scheduled for 2010), Ms. Rodriguez is a lady that I would like beside me in a hard situation, especially during a zombie outbreak.

SIGOURNEY WEAVER
(1949-present)
Anyone familiar with science fiction films knows that Sigourney Weaver ranks among the top actresses in this genre, appearing more recently in 'Avatar' (2010), but more memorably in the sci-fi/horror 'Alien' franchise as Ellen Ripley. To simply put it, Weaver is to an alien attack as Rodriguez is to a zombie outbreak. Personally, and I may get some guff for it, Ms. Weaver was my favorite in 'Alien Resurrection' (1997). Why? Because she plays as a tough-as-nails clone with xenomorphic blood and mannerisms, bordering on creepy and sensual at times.

Perhaps it's a bit of a longshot, but Ms. O'Toole earns my recognition as Beverly Marsh in the film adaptation of Stephen King's 'IT' (1990). She's more often associated with the superhero genre, playing Lana Lang in 'Superman III' (1983) and Clark Kent's mother in the television series 'Smallville'. However, 'IT' holds a significant place with myself and Annette O'Toole helped to make it special.
Some great additions to the previous post, Andrew! Sigourney Weaver especially, I meant to have mentioned her before, she really kicked ass in the Alien franchise.
ReplyDeleteI thought that since you're researching horror, you'd might want to listen to some horror podcasts! I don't know if you've been listening to some already, but I'm going to take the liberty of recommending a couple of podcasts to you:
- Horroretc, and you can find it at www.horroretc.com This is a great podcast, they have in depth discussions about various movies and horror subjects, and both hosts are very knowledgeable (sp?). I really enjoy it, and I feel like I learn a lot from each episode.
- Night of the Living Podcast, you can find it at www.notlp.com This might be a little harder to get into at first, because there are 6 hosts (sometimes only 4 or 5), but it's one of the funniest podcasts I've ever heard, and amidst all the joking they do offer great reviews and thoughts about various movies. I recommend you check both of these out, but if you want to know some more cool horror podcasts to listen to, just name it! There are a few more that are cool :) Hope you enjoy those!
Thanks, Carla! And yes, Weaver certainly did that.
ReplyDeleteI've started listening to the Zombie Grrlz podcasts, but any recommendations you have are always appreciated. :) I'll definitely give Horroretc and Night of the Living Podcast a listen. And if you haven't listened to Zombie Grrlz, I suggest it. They're a fun group of gals who love horror and kidding around, so it gets my stamp of approval.
