Anna Faris in Smiley Face (above) and The House Bunny (below). I first noticed Anna Faris in the Scary Movie franchise in which she parodied, among other things, Neve Campbell’s role in Scream . Following that, Faris provided expert comic relief playing supporting roles in two of the most prestigious productions of the last decade, Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation and Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain....

Celebrities are always being credited, or should I say blamed, with starting trends. Jennifer Beals caused a nation of woman to massacre their sweaters, Woody Harrelson made white guys think they could hoop, George Clooney is responsible for the raft of Caesar haircuts that lamed across America back in the 90’s, and so on [...] ShareThis

In The House Bunny, Anna Faris looks significantly more glammed up than when she came into movies as the star of . In that film, she was stuck in a poor man's Neve Campbell role by design -- a spoof of a minor star, a winking knockoff. Faris stayed through the franchise , and coming out the other side, she still plays bimbos and cast-offs like Shelley Darlington, a second-string Playboy bunny who has...

Michael Bay's horror sequels/reboots/re-imaginings are questionable enough, but a fourth installment of the Scream franchise strikes me as even more worrisome. A few weeks ago it was confirmed that the Weinsteins would be pursuing a third sequel to the franchise that started with a butchering bang back in 1996. More recently, MTV caught up with horror savant Wes Craven, the man behind the entire franchise...

Wow. Now this is low. Apparently, the big emergency hearing that Denise Richards called last week was to accuse Charlie Sheen, her ex-husband, of molesting their daughters. The judge threw out the accusations as baseless, and Charlie Sheen is now going to sue for full custody of the girls, attempting to prove once and [...]

I have to say that I do not like what the movies have been doing for the stories and wish Capcom can start over with the original storyline and have the original characters in the series. Here's my idea of who plays who but it's a short list so far: Chris Redfield-Any actor that's in their mid to...
