Character Profile: Lisbeth Salander

Posted in Character Profiles, Movies, tagged , , , , , , on July 5, 2012| 5 Comments »

Lisbeth Salander is by likely by far my favorite fictional character in the universe. After reading her adventures in Stieg Larssonn’s novels, I went on to fall in love with Rooney Mara’s Oscar nominated performance and in response, fell in love with Mara herself. I even dedicated a large image gallery simply dedicated to the best Rooney Mara pictures I could dig up. So I decided to honor Ms. Salander with a image gallery of her own with Deviant Art’s best pictures. Be sure to visit the artists themselves, whose names are left on the image captions. I’ve even included my rendition, but it doesn’t compare to the masters of their crafts. I tried to stray away from direct images from movie inspirations and tried to stick to original depictions of the puzzling but lovable Lisbeth Salander.

My 10 Favorite Movie Characters of the Year

Posted in Lists, Movies, tagged , , , , , , , on January 13, 2012| 6 Comments »

One would believe that this post was inspired by the recent popularity of my Tuesday post, 10 Favorite TV Characters of the Year, but in reality, both of these posts were written back to back and I just simply queued this one for a later date.  And especially as the ‘new year’ escapes us, I wanted to publish as many of these, ‘wrap up 2011’ posts as quickly as possible.  So please don’t fry my buns and deem this post as a selfish attempt to get more views.  But even if you never thought that in the first place, let’s get on with the show.

As I searched through 2011 movies, I’m rather disappointed in the relative lack of new characters.  Another heavy year of sequels and remakes, it was difficult finding 10 worthy characters that truly inspired and put goosebumps in my skin.  Out of these 10, I believe only about 6-7 truly deserve any praise, but I chose 10 to give some benefit of the doubt.  Only unfortunately, I haven’t seen EVERY movie in 2011, especially the tons of December releases, but I made it about as clear cut as I could.  Here’s the list below.
