hookers, victims & doormats
Another day, another round of casting announcements chock full of stereotypes. While older actresses like
Susan Sarandon have their pick of saucy-yet-loving-powerful-woman roles, the younger actresses who have yet to convince everyone they're talented sometimes pick up a few victim roles along their march to Serious Actress territory. Maybe it's because they are still pretty "fresh faces", but these talented actresses still succumb to playing victimized lovers, even in supposedly intellectual and interesting films. In this edition of Hookers, Victims, and Doormats,
Ellen Page pretends she is "plain" in
Jane Eyre and
Eva Mendes continues to mimic Angelina Jolie's action film career. All that and more after the jump!
