She first stared In the movie The Professional, and has recently stared in the movie Black Swan where she won an academy award for best actress. She is an avid animal rights activist.

Thor ReviewOdin (Anthony Hopkins), king of Asgard, wages war against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim and their leader Laufey (Colm Feore), to prevent them from conquering the Nine Realms, starting with Earth. But, the Asgardian warriors defeat the Frost Giants. In the present, Odin’s son Thor (Chris Hemsworth) prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard, but is interrupted when Frost Giants attack. For Thor’s arrogance, Odin strips his son of his godly power and exiles him to Earth. Thor lands in New Mexico, where scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), her assistant Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) and mentor Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård), find him. And the rest you have to watch.

A “Must See” MovieThis movie deserves to win an academy award

because of the great story line it has. The ancient mythology used is not only true, but it works really

well with the action in the movie. A second reason is because the actors are fantastic. Every actor brings a valuable part to the movie, which makes it worthy of

the award.
