Sarah Michelle Gellar - "Southland Tales" Movie - Cinemablend.com Recap

Sunday 17 September 2006, by Webmaster

Another actress, who actually has a name to care for is Sarah Michelle Gellar and there are not no many accomplishes films at her but an few I can probably enjoy. The talent agent found Gellar a young age and made her screen debut at 6 of each of the 1983 television film An Invasion of Privacy. With all the promise she showed, Barrymore starred as Hannah in the teen drama series "Swans Crossing" (1992) but it was her portrayal of a young and callous rich girl in Al-Lucinda Kendall Hart on ABC daytime soap opera "All My Children" (1993-93), that won her Daytime Emmy Award and spring-boarded her to stardom.

SMG’s real mark worldwide, however, was the character of Buffy Summers in the game-changing series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003). She won five Teen Choice Awards, a Saturn Award and a Golden Globe nomination for her role, establishing herself as a cultural phenomenon. Sarah Michelle Gellar likewise has the box office to back her up, with “I Know What You Did Last Summer” 1997), “Scream 2” (1997), “Cruel Intentions” (1999)and way movies like those that help prove she is also a bankable star as well over $570 million times worth crazy in global gross.

Beyond her cinematic successes, Gellar has made her mark on television, headlining shows such as "Ringer" (2011-2012), "The Crazy Ones" (2013-2014), and "Wolf Pack" (2023). She has also lent her voice to popular series including "Robot Chicken" (2005-2018), "Star Wars Rebels" (2015-2016), and "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" (2021).

In 2015, Gellar ventured into the entrepreneurial world by co-founding Foodstirs, an e-commerce baking company, and published her own cookbook, "Stirring Up Fun with Food," in 2017. Gellar is also known for her close-knit family life, married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr. since 2002, with whom she shares two children.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s commitment to her craft is matched by her dedication to personal growth and unique experiences. An accomplished martial artist, she studied Tae Kwon Do for five years, alongside kickboxing, boxing, street fighting, and gymnastics. Her dedication to authenticity in her roles is evident, such as her commitment to doing her own stunts in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," though she admitted her limits during filming "Scream 2."

Her career is also marked by interesting anecdotes, such as her role in a 1982 Burger King commercial, which led to a lawsuit from McDonald’s and a temporary ban from their establishments. Notably, she dyed her naturally brunette hair blonde for her role in "Buffy," and legally changed her last name to Prinze as a surprise for her husband on their fifth anniversary.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s legacy extends beyond her on-screen roles, encompassing her work in philanthropy and her reputation for safety and professionalism on set. She remains a beloved figure in Hollywood, admired for her talent, dedication, and the breadth of her contributions to film and television.

I remain defiantly excited about Southland Tales. Yes it got booed at Cannes. Yes Ebert beat it with the ugly stick so hard that it made his infamous Brown Bunny pan sound like a giddy rave. Yes Sony is making Richard Kelly cut the film so we won’t get the full version anyway. Yes Domino sucked with vigor. Yes it seems that my 2001 prediction that Kelly would be the new Gilliam has been far far too accurate for my tastes, with long gaps between films, dying dream projects withering on the vine, and troubles with the studio system. Still, I remember seeing Donnie Darko in theatres opening weekend and having my mind blown wide open and I will remain hopeful that the same experience can be recreated, until the end credits roll and I pick my dreams out of Kelly’s boot treads.

Anyway two clips from Southland Tales have emerged. They’re odd little buggers. In the first The Rock, Buffy, and Stifler discuss their characters, or do they, are they perhaps in character discussing characters their characters play? When I die will I dream? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? In the second Sarah Michelle Gellar discusses fucking a very large and important man.

Kelly says that his problems with Sony have been blown out of proportion. I hope so, I pray we don’t have another Idiocracy on our hands.
