Fans of Lost who are still in withdrawal will be thrilled to see Canadian star Evangeline Lilly in Real Steel, which just hit the big screens. It’s a robot-fighting flick that’s fun for the whole family, and also stars Aussie heartthrob Hugh Jackman.
For those with a hankering for other tough-as-nails Canadian heroines in action-packed flicks, the following might make for a good movie-night-in:
Whip It
Haligonian Ellen Page plays a newbie in the hardscrabble world of Roller Derby, where she learns to elbow aside the competition and make friends with Drew Barrymore in the process.
Sherlock Holmes
The beautiful Rachel McAdams (originally from London, Ontario) plays the love interest of Robert Downey, Jr. in director Guy Richie’s take on the Edwardian detective stories.
Splice
Toronto’s Sarah Polley (once a child star on Road to Avonlea) is all grown up in this sci-fi thriller about a genetic experiment gone wrong, which was one of 2010’s big sleepers.
