Thanks to the magic of Internet film piracy I finally got a chance to watch Gregg Araki's stoner comedy Smiley Face . Released over a year ago in America I had been waiting patiently for the film, which stars Anna Faris, to arrive on my shores but to no avail so I don't feel bad at all. It's their own fault that they lost my money. Personally, I feel Araki wouldn't mind in the slighest considering...
News: Verve Pictures have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of The Living End on 26th January 2009 priced at £19.99 RRP. A postmodern love story of l'amour fou, Gregg Araki's The Living End has been remastered and remixed for this DVD release. Prese...
Score one for the "off with his head" crowd. After donating $1,500 to the Yes on 8 Campaign, Film Independent's Richard Raddon has stepped down as director of the L.A. Film Festival. Raddon had previously tendered his resignation and the board unanimously refused to accept it, but that bit of political theatre failed to mollify the [...]
The internal battle over Prop 8 strategy has taken on a Tinseltown tone as openly gay studio Hollywood directors openly worry about the tone of Prop 8 protesters, while queer indie figures like Mysterious Skin director Gregg Araki voice full-throated support for protest and boycott efforts. The L.A. Times sits down with several prominent gay Hollywood [...]
After the passage of Proposition 8, some are calling for boycotts and firings. Others worry about free speech rights being trampled. Should there be boycotts, blacklists, firings or de-facto shunning of those who supported Proposition 8?
I do not have the patience today to try and figure out if 100 names have been released so far but I can share with you the latest batch of names that have been released of who will be...
Anna Faris in Smiley Face (dir. Gregg Araki, 2007). The little I remember of Gregg Araki's doom-and-gloom extrusions of decadent Gen-X trauma from the 90's has long since settled into a puddle of muted indie hysteria, but last year's Smiley Face is a flawed, sweet treasure. It is no more nor less than a vehicle for Anna Faris to push one button over and over and over: the "I am so stoned" button. And...
What with a February divorce and August comedy hit, 32-year-old Baltimore native Anna Faris may soon be looking back on 2008 as the year she turned the corner.
Anna Faris, the slapstick princess of the Scary Movie spoofs and the current comedy The House Bunny, receives a well-deserved spotlight role, and her funniest character to date, in director Gregg Araki's stoner comedy Smiley F...
Anna Faris' work in Gregg Araki's pot comedy Smiley Face is a hilarious catalogue of contortions and facial non sequiturs. She lets her eyes get big and her face a little wild, the chin rounding down the gullet with a pouty lip. When you look at, say, Megan Fox in Transformers , no matter what the physical demands of the scene her flawless face remains in the mode of a Calvin Klein ad. Not Faris! With...
A slab of Ssion is always a great way to the end the day, so let's get into it. Ssion man Cody Critcheloe remains busy: He took a director's credit on Tilly & The Wall's Beat Control ," gave his mom a punk makeover in " Ah-Ma ," and later hit us with the trashy radness of " Day Job ." And yet none of that prepared me for Cody's latest directorial effort, this time for Fools Gold track "A Wolves Eye,"...
[A grumpy letter to the festival. Perhaps I should sign myself Brigadier-General, as in those parody Monty Python letters.] Dear LLGFF, So the 22nd London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival is on tour; and just three movies from its series...
I have been wanting to share at least a photo of Anna Farris snarfing down cupcakes in a marijuana munchie obsessed bit from Gregg Araki's film Smiley Face for over a year, and finally discovered this on YouTube. Fast forward to 4:40 and you can watch her devour them. I think you can pretty much watch the whole movie via YouTube, starting here. It's pretty hilarious.
