I know she hasn't worked recently due to motherhood, but if her husband can constantly get jobs [which is kind of sad in some ways], she can definitely secure a good one. I think maybe she should do more TV before she does the movie thing again. Or maybe if she does work in film, pick supporting roles. It's pretty sad that CRUEL INTENTIONS is still her best work in film. I'm not knocking that film at all, as it's one of my guiltiest pleasures. But that was 11 years ago.

This film gave her career a major shot in the arm. It recalled Jamie Lee back in her prime. I would give this an 8 or 9 for relvancy in her career. It was just the roles (mainly The Return which opened at number 10 and quickly disappered from theaters) after this film that she took and unending series of bad luck for her. The film did open up with $40Million and grossed well over a $100Million and a big chunk of the ad campaign was centered around her.<br /><br />As for Possession, I really liked this film. It was a return to form for her acting wise. One element that made Buffy was it's moments of sincerity and that same connection she had there on those terms is in Possession. The production company that made it, went bankrupt afterwards and the film got tied up in legal mumbo jumbo. It was supposed to be a theaterical film, but went straight to DVD as a result of it's legal troubles. At least if this had went to theaters as originally intended, it would have kept her in the public eye.<br /><br />At any rate, I am a SMG fan for life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28902318.post-27029716628376224652010-05-17T12:59:27.679-04:002010-05-17T12:59:27.679-04:00Poor SMG.

And I was never able to sit down and watch a Scooby Doo movie ... even the trailers irritated me.<br /><br /><i>Southland Tales</i> was watchable, and it was nice to see her in that movie, but it was even nicer to see Mandy Moore--yowza.Rabid Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307255127156087170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28902318.post-2221681697442353802010-05-17T03:05:32.187-04:002010-05-17T03:05:32.187-04:00that was hilarious and tragic. nice work.that was hilarious and tragic. nice work.David P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00698929563656208788noreply@blogger.com
