Charlize Theron is one of cinema's most eclectic stars - she can do comedy, action, drama, and even horror and excel at all of them. With the arrival of her latest comedy "Long Shot," I took a look at my five personal favorite Charlize Theron films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Tully
Taking a look at the ups and downs of motherhood, Charlize Theron stars as Marlo, a mother of three who faces a crisis of her own as she feels unable to cope with everything, until a young night nurse named Tully comes into her life and helps her with more than taking care of the newborn baby. Theron sheds her natural good looks and tones down her sexual appeal, and gives her most natural performance as an average mother who feels lost in a sea of responsibilities.
#4
Atomic Blonde
Theron can play any role, but it's action that she's most known for, and "Atomic Blonde" proves why. Playing an MI6 agent tasked with taking down a spy ring during the end of the Cold War, Theron proves that action isn't just for the boys, as director David Leitch (who also helped direct Keanu Reeves in "John Wick") gives Theron several amazing set pieces to work off of (including an epic battle on a stairwell), and she also uses her natural charm and acting ability to make it more than just a brainless action-adventure.
#3
Kubo & the Two Strings
Lending her voice to Laika's timeless underrated gem, "Kubo & the Two Strings" is heightened by Theron's performance of a monkey statue brought to life to aid young Kubo in finding his father's armor to protect him from his evil relatives. Theron balances stern motherly advice with fierce prowess (with some humor mixed in between) to give another unforgettable performance, and even though we don't see her on screen, it's obvious as to who voices this powerful monkey.
#2
Mad Max: Fury Road
It takes a lot to pull the spotlight off a title character, but that's exactly what Charlize Theron does in the long-awaited sequel to the "Mad Max" saga. Playing the fierce Imperator Furiosa, Theron enlists Max's help in taking down a post-apocalyptic tyrannical leader and also protect the women she rescued from his clutches. Theron gives another strong performance and once again proves that she's one of this generation's biggest action stars.
#1
Monster
An almost unrecognizable Charlize Theron portrays the real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos in such a powerful, memorable way that she easily won an Academy Award for her efforts. Her face is disguised by impressive makeup, yet you can't disguise the natural talent she possesses as she gives a chilling, unnerving, unflinching performance that'll be remembered for decades to come.
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
Major Theatrical Releases May 2016 May is the start of summer, which means warmer weather, no school, more sunshine, and of course, MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES! The beginning of summer opens with some extremely strong outings which will shape the remaining months to come, and if these movies are any indication, it's going to be a great summer at the movies! That being said, here is the list of films being released nationally for the month of May, 2016. MAY 6 Captain America: Civil War Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie Directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo Synopsis (imdb.com): Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. Thoughts: Forget "Batman v. Superman," THIS is the match-up we've all been dying to see! Based off the highly popular comic series, "Civil War" pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes against one anot
The Living Dead Starring Jessica Jane-Stanford, Paul Danan, Aurie 'Styla' Green, Hakan Hassan Directed by Fredi Nwaka What I appreciate the most about horror cinema is the fact that its the easiest genre for an up-and-coming director to direct, and provide a unique vision that's set apart from different genres - in horror, you can make anything if you set your mind to it. Horror can also blend different genres within itself, producing horror/drama, horror/action, and even horror/comedy, which is the route taken by first-time director Fredi Nwaka's "The Living Dead" (also known in the U.K. as "Are We Dead Yet?") - it's not just a horror film, but also blends action and comedy and produces a worthwhile whole. Madison (Jessica Jane-Stanford), Barry (Aurie 'Styla' Green), Gavin (Paul Danan), Alan (Hakan Hassan) and Parksey (Bradley Turner) are a group of robbers who, after their getaway car breaks down, find themselves in front of a towering
