Chloe Grace Moretz is one of today's more underrated actresses, who's appeared in raunchy comedies as well as heavily dramatic pieces, and everything in between. She's due to star in the upcoming psychological thriller "Greta" with Oscar nominee Isabelle Hubbert, and in honor of that I chose my five favorite Chloe Grace Moretz films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Hugo
Chloe stars as Isabelle, a young friend of Asa Butterfield's Hugo who helps him on a soaring adventure to find a missing key to his late father's automaton, and finding the secrets that lie within. Directed by the famous Martin Scorsese, the film earned eleven Academy Award nominations and also features Ben Kingsley, Sasha Baron Cohen, Emily Mortimer, Jude Law, and Christopher Lee.
#4
The Equalizer
Tackling a more adult role, Chloe stars as Alina, a young prostitute who's befriended by Denzel Washington's Robert McCall. After getting beaten into a coma by her pimp, McCall goes on to avenge her beating and becomes the Equalizer. Although her role was small, her performance was profound and was the launchpad for the entire film.
#3
Carrie
The film had so many hurdles it had to climb even from the start - being a remake of a beloved horror classic written by one of horror's most prolific authors originally starring a critically acclaimed actress who earned a coveted Academy Award nomination for her performance. Yet Chloe made it her own, and made her performance unique and special. Here she plays Carrie, a young subdued girl who gets picked on constantly at school and is treated very harshly by her overly-religious mother (Julianne Moore, in another spectacular role), who gets the ultimate prank played on her - and she gets her ultimate revenge. It's as terrifying as the original, and Moretz totally envelops her role.
#2
Kick-Ass
In 2010, the superhero film craze was just taking off, and "Kick-Ass" dared ask the question - can anyone be a superhero, even without superpowers? When a group of average citizens decide to don capes and costumes and become superheroes in their town, it sends bad guys into an uproar, resulting in an action-packed dark comedy filled with great performances. As Hit Girl, Chloe made a household name for herself here, stepping out from relatively background characters in her previous work to really own it here, showing the world what she's truly capable of.
#1
Let Me In
Based off the 2008 Swedish film "Let the Right One In," "Let Me In" centers around Owen, a young boy who's constantly bullied in school who's befriended by Chloe's character Abby, a new neighbor girl. She vows to protect Owen and the two form a very close friendship when she reveals to him that she's actually a vampire, and the result is a blood-soaked horror drama that's filled with great performances (especially from the young Moretz) and a thoughtful, compelling story.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...

Worst2First: My Most Anticipated Films of Spring 2025 Leading up to what cinemas consider summer (which runs from May to August as opposed to June to August), theaters are going to be popping during the two spring months of March and April! From sequels to war films and some exciting original content, there's something for everyone to see on the big screen in March and April. So here are the ten films I'm most excited to see in March and April of 2025... **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** #10 Ash March 21 Sci-fi isn't my particularly favorite genre, but I can still appreciate what it has to offer, especially in the horror community. "Alien" is still the standard of sci-fi horror films, and "Ash" looks like an "Alien" type film - a woman alone in the vastness of space after her entire crew is killed, trying to understand what happened when she's rescued by someone that she may or may not be able to trust.
