Sarah Michelle Gellar defined one of the best characters in television, the title role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But of course the show ended and she has moved onto other things. For many years during the run of Buffy, Gellar did horror movies such as Scream 2 and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Now her latest project, The Grudge, is another horror film with a twist. It is the first Japanese horror remake directed by the original Japanese director.

Check out the official website for The...

I just saw the movie yesterday, and althought I cannot compare the two films (i have not seen the original) i enjoyed it. It is not a great film or even a good film, but it is not an average film. I liked some of the shots, some of the photography, in fact, based on the small quantity of films I have seen of urban Japan the japanese have very beautiful cities and they look very pretty on film, like the love affair Woody Allen has with New York city. But it is not a movie where actors can shine, like in the Joss Whedon projects, that are character-driven stories. But anyone that enjoys haunted house movies will probably enjoy it.

Because I absolutely loved the original and I wanna see how the re-make stacks up. I'm slightly disapointed that Sarah "someone whacked my nose with a book" Michelle Geller is starring in it... I would have liked to see an unknown actress.
But oh well... It opens tonite so I can form an opinion after I get off work.

I don't like scary movies, in fact, I get really scared, and I yelp, and cry sometimes.. Because, I scare so easily.

However, I'm a huge SMG fan, so thats the reason I'm going to see the Grudge, because I follow SMG career.

And Buffy was a huge hit because of the way the show was carried, and the meaning that it held, believe me, there was more behind the story lines of monsters and demons. If you don't know, then I'm really sorry that you couldn't get past your meaningless cosumer drivin hating life (I have always appericated that line - Thanks Stiles) to enjoy a TV show for what it is.. a fucking TV show.

Enjoy guys!

I don't think she was saying Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a good respresentation of asian film, I read it as her wonderful why that movie didn't bring a bigger influx of asian film to the states.

i dig SMG

but re: remakes of japanese horror ... i have not seen a *lot* of origianl japanese horror flicks, but like i watched 'the eye' (which i know is not considered sort of the best of the best, but i think is well liked?) ... anyway, it didn't do it for me at ALL. i think for me some of the *horror* is lost by reading subtitles. not b/c i don't like the reading - but the reading somehow distances me from the characters, making the thrills less intense.

Just go back from The Grudge.
First movie I've ever been to where a large majority of the audience actually screamed.
Of course, I have a feeling a majority of the audience was a bunch of pansies.....
But still a good movie. Go see it.
