From Fredericksburg.com Sarah Michelle GellarSarah Michelle Gellar - ’The Grudge’ Movie - Fredericksburg.com ReviewBy Austin Robles Thursday 11 November 2004, 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. ’The Grudge’ leaves our reviewer with a grudge! Movie name: "The Grudge" Genre: Horror Stars: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jason Behr and a couple of people no one knows. Overall: Save your money for food. Plot: Sarah Michelle Gellar is in Japan to take care of people incapable of living by themselves. She finds out that one of her customers’ houses is haunted and all that good stuff. Ghosts pop out; a typical horror film follows. Does it deserve its rating? Its rating shouldn’t be PG-13. If I could, I would give it an F-minus for failure and a half. Favorite scene: The best scene is in the very beginning. A guy is standing on his balcony, and then he throws himself off it. Then you find out his reason for suicide is idiotic. Leave on the cutting-room floor: As the plot progresses, the suicide scene—once the favorite—should have been done away with. There was no more reason to show it than there was reason for him to kill himself. Top performer: Sarah Michelle Gellar because she’s hot. Flop performer: Sarah Michelle Gellar because she looked like she was going to laugh when she should have been scared or crying. Compare it to: If you want to see a good film of an Asian remake, see "The Ring" or "The Eye." Both were better than this disgrace to the horror genre. Buffy couldn’t act when she owned her own show, and she can’t act when she tries to speak Japanese. Afterthoughts: The only thing I got out of this was a lower grade on my English paper, which I should have been writing instead of seeing this darn movie.
