Blake Lively

Role: 

The Shallows

In the taut thriller, when Nancy (Blake Lively) is surfing on a secluded beach, she finds herself on the feeding ground of a great white shark. Though she is stranded only 200 yards from shore, survival proves to be the ultimate test of wills, requiring all of Nancy’s ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fortitude.

The Age Of Adaline

Blake Lively is captivating in the title role of this stirring romantic drama. In 1935, a near-death experience changes 29-year-old Adaline's life; from that day on, she never grows older. Through eight adventure-filled decades, Adaline guards her secret - and her heart. But an affair with a charming philanthropist (Michiel Huisman) and a weekend with his parents (Harrison Ford and Kathy Baker) Adaline to confront her destiny in this unforgettable tale about the timeless power of love.

Green Lantern

As far as superheroes go, Green Lantern may lack the clean, iconic lines of his more respectable DC counterparts Superman and Batman, but the very wonkiness of the premise (earthling joins elite force of space cops) lends itself to a pulpy, operatic, not-entirely-serious approach. (One of his teammates is a talking carrot, after all.) Capitalizing on a charming performance by Ryan Reynolds, the feature-film adaptation is a big, messy movie that, at its best, generates a feeling of aw-shucks wonder. Much like Thor, it isn't afraid to loosen up on the inner turmoil of its hero and go macro.
