The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya (2013)
Much has been made of Hayao Miyazaki's decision to step down as director of the animation last year, but a new film from his Studio Ghibli, which opens today, comes from the imagination of a director of equal or greater stature. A co-founder of the company, 78-year-old Isao Takahata directed The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. You will not witness a richer, more beautiful film in 2014 than this one.
Princess Kaguya is based on a Japanese folk tale from the 10th century known as The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which recounts the narrative of a poor couple who find a magical child in a forest and decide to raise her like a princess. With this story as his springboard, Takahata explores the transitory nature of existence, the shallowness of riches and materialism in general, and the absurdity of social positions in particular. At first glance, Princess Kaguya's storyline is straightforward; nevertheless, the majority of spectators are likely to be drawn in by the film's stunning visuals.
Princess Kaguya is a living representation of a traditional Japanese work of art. I was reminded a bit of the Raymond Briggs adaptation of The Snowman in the way the flowing animation is done in simple, evocative watercolors with charcoal strokes.
A major subject of the film how a simple life spent amid nature may provide more pleasure than a life spent in urbanity or claimed social advancement is one that has been explored in previous Ghibli films, although the film's painterly aesthetic aids in making a more compelling argument in this instance. In one particularly impressive sequence, the princess Kaguya's rage-filled dreams of fleeing oppressive surroundings are shown in dizzying, crude scrawls as the figure takes to the air.

Let Me In (2010)
A dark horror thriller released in 2010, featured Moretz in one of the most unusual roles of her career, in which she played a Vampire. The picture, which was a remake of the Swedish film Let the Right One In, proved to be one of the most successful efforts at adopting a foreign film for an American audience in recent memory.
Because of Moretz's young age, she was able to bring a great deal of depth to the character, and it turned out to be one of her finest and most recognizable performances.
