i'm not sure...

a) SMG agreed to act in it, which means the movie is almost guaranteed to suck. I may love Buffy and think SMG's hot, but she certainly hasn't picked the best movie roles (apart from "cruel intentions," which, apart from the ending, i adored.

b) I really wasn't impressed with alice; it just wasn't my thing. (altho' that could be due to the fact that I couldn't clear the first villain ;))

I kind of liked her in The Grudge (although mostly because the rest of the movie was really scary).

I think for her next role she is going to be a porn star. And the Rock is going to be playing opposite her. And there's some weird stuff happening in LA. Anyway - plot synopsis from imdb:

Southland Tales is an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster. Boxer Santaros is an action star who's stricken with amnesia. His life intertwines with Krysta Now, an adult film star developing her own reality television project, and David Clark, a Hermosa Beach police officer who holds the key to a vast conspiracy.


Yeah - you're right. Not great choices in movies.
