Margot Robbie is one of today's most prolific, talented, and downright stunning actresses, a rare talent who totally envelops herself in her role so fully that you don't even recognize her. With her upcoming role in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," I take a look at my five personal favorite Margot Robbie films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Z for Zachariah
In one of her first starring roles, Margot Robbie stars as Ann Burden, who thinks she's the lone survivor after the world ends due to an apocalyptic event. Living alone in an unspoiled piece of land, she finds that she's not alone after discovering stranger John Loomis (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) in the valley, and the two begin to form a bond - until she finds another survivor, played by Chris Pine, that threatens everything they worked to build. Robbie delivers a solid performance and sets the stage for this then-up-and-coming actress to hit it big.
#4
Mary Queen of Scots
When you get acting heavyweights like Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan together, you're bound to achieve something truly fantastic. "Mary Queen of Scots" tells of the rivalry between Mary (Ronan) and Queen Elizabeth (Robbie) as they vie for rulership of England. Robbie gives an immaculate performance, transforming into Queen Elizabeth in every sense of the word, and commands the screen - which is difficult to do against Saoirse Ronan.
#3
Focus
Margot Robbie stars alongside Will Smith for the first (but not last) time in "Focus," where she stars as an up-and-coming con artist who's taken under Smith's wing and trained to be a true femme fatale. The two become romantically involved, which threatens Smith's Nicky's plans, resulting in a breakup and an eventual reunion. Robbie steals the scene and goes full circle from novice to pro - and once again showcases her tremendous acting talent.
#2
Suicide Squad
There's not a lot of praise to come from this film (even though it somehow won an Oscar for Makeup), but one thing that's universally praised about "Suicide Squad" is Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn, and she totally owns the part. She relishes in her character's offbeat traits, and her efforts have led to her getting her own spinoff film.
#1
I, Tonya
In the film that earned Robbie her first (but certainly not only) Academy Award nomination, "I, Tonya" serves as a mockumentary about Tonya Harding, the disgraced figure skater accused of having her husband injure fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan. Robbie plays Tonya to pitch perfect perfection, where you can't take your eyes off her performance, and proves why she deserved her nomination as well as the title of one of today's most talented actresses.
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
