Because women my age need movie heroes too
Somebody just shared this with me: 20 iconic male movie roles in which Helen Mirren would have ruled.
I am here to say, if Helen Mirren were in any of these roles (except maybe Tootsie), I would immediately go and see her. I loved her in Red, which was otherwise a spotty piece of cinematic work. They should immediately re-make Red and put her in the Bruce Willis role and let her kidnap / rescue / charm & enamour the love interest, played by, oh, I don't know ... Ryan Reynolds. No, too provincial. Daniel Radcliffe! No, dammit, too young. Alan Rickman! Well, anyway. I would see it. Here she is, wearing boots and kicking butt.
