That waif couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. I'll pass.

If you want to see a good movie named "Alice," watch the one with Mia Farrow from 1990.

Yea that one was great!

But I do like Sarah. If you don't think she can act you obviously have never seen

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Season 5 - Episode 16 - THE BODY?

That is the best hours of television...ever! Thanks to the brilliant cast and the one and only Joss Whedon!

I do want to see this Alice though...it just sounds interesting.

No its live-action. And I believe it is supposed to be sort of a "twisted" sequal. :shrug: unsure.

This one is based off of the video game, American McGee's "Alice". I'm not sure if anyone has ever played it, but it's very dark and twisted. I seriously can't see SMG playing the part of Alice in this though.
Though right now I'm just hoping for the movie be as true the game as possible.

For more info on the film and game, here are two links:

Or better yet:
Jan Svankmajer's "Alice"

Truly disturbing.

I have this computer game. It's been out forever. Very twisted and fun.

They also made action figures of the characters from this game, also very twisted.

Oh my, that one is fantabulous. Utterly bizarre. The crude stop motion makes it even more nightmarish. Too bad the DVD transfer is so bad.

So good. I enjoy his work very much. At least the DVD has his short 'Darkness Light Darkness.'

Did you check out his 'Faust?' Highly recommended.

Let's hope so!!! :nod: (J/K)

But I do plan on seeing this. And while she'll never be nominated for an Oscar, I do love me some SMG... :thumbsup:

Surely you aren't comparing such a talented actress as her to Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Gellar has certainly lit the acting world afire with her phenomenal turns in Scooby Doo, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Grudge, and, who could forget, Scooby Doo 2.

Glad you like Sarah Brown! AMAZING ACTRESS...The only reason I started watching General Hospital or liked the character of Carly! (BTW...they have let Jennifer Bransford go and have recast Carly YET AGAIN! :eyeroll:)

But about SMG...you obviously haven't seen much of her work on Buffy...because if you were a fan of that show and had seen episodes such as "THE BODY", "ONCE MORE WITH FEELING", "THE GIFT", "HUSH", then you would change your mind about her acting I believe!!!

If you're talking about her crappy movies, don't forget Simply Irresistible! I Tivo that sucker every time it's on, because it's probably one of the worst movies ever made.

I like SMG, though. Brwnlotsofletters is right about those Buffy episodes. Especially The Body. She has it in her, she just makes crappy, crappy film choices. I will always hold her to high esteem for her performance in Cruel Intentions alone. Love it.

No, that one is The Southland Tales (which is being directed by Richard Kelly - Donnie Darko!). Southland Tales (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405336/)

You like the real Carly too!?! :thumbsup:
I still think it sucks she left GH, those replacements just don't do her justice. No one does the emotion driven flarring nostrils like Sarah. I reaaaly don't like that chick they have now, I'm sure she could be a perfectly nice lady, but she's a bit more of a "Carl" than a Carly, LOL!
