To be honest, my affection for Chloë Grace Moretz when I saw Kick-Ass (2010) was purely born out of amazement with her skills. I mean, I really don’t know how much of the stunts were done by her, but she makes it look like she’s really – ahem – kicking ass.
And yes, also because she cursed a lot. Eyebrows were raised when a 12-year old Moretz said things like “cunt” and “fuck”. To me it was cool. I know she doesn’t talk like that in person. Yeah we’re close.
But when I saw Kick-Ass 2 (2013), my obsession became a full-blown dreamathon.
I really liked the way she sort of grown up a bit in that movie, especially when she was juggling two lives (one was that of a superhero, the other that of a typical teenage girl). The movie suddenly turned into a Mean Girls rip-off complete with the usual high school bullying drama. The difference is, Moretz was way cooler (and feistier) than Lindsay Lohan.

Showing her emotional side really made me like her more, because it was technically my first time to see her cry. She didn’t do that in (500) Days of Summer (2009) nor in Dark Shadows (2012). Of course, The Amityville Horror (2005) and Let Me In (2010) are totally out of the question.
She seemed to have done a lot of crying in the remake of Carrie (2013), though. I am yet to see that one.
Hit-Girl is the ultimate modern chic superhero. I just love it when she fights and trashtalks at the same time. I hope she appears in a movie with a lot of cursing (again). I think she’s one of the few young actresses who can pull it off convincingly, aside from Jennifer Lawrence.
Oh yeah, I’ve heard that Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the dude who played Kick-Ass, will be the villain in the next Avengers movie, prolly coming out in 2015. Shoot, I hope Moretz can be a villain too. Hmmm.. Anyway she’s still very young (16) and for sure there’ll be a lot coming her way.
