For every May (I was blown away by her hillarity in this) there is a Scary Movie. <br /><br />Hollywood seems to be unsure about what to do with her: is she the goofy girl or the hot leading lady? She's both but there aren't too many good roles for someone in between these two "types."<br /><br />Nonetheless, Anna made the final cut in my "Best actors under age 40" list found on my blog here:<br /><br />http://turnoffyourcellphone.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/best-in-actors-and-directors-under-age-40/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278483711453362593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-40450337768629732652010-10-25T07:19:32.523-04:002010-10-25T07:19:32.523-04:00Great post!

I've never thought about her much, but it definitely took talent to play that vapid character in Lost in Translation!<br /><br />You're right about the comic timing too.

(There are two kinds of people in the world: Warriors and those who wish they were.) Alas, I was several years behind so I have no stories to share. <br /><br />Although while I'm pimping local ties I'll note that my collegiate alma mater, the University of Washington, has produced a disproportionate share of comic actors recently in Faris, Joel McHale, and Rainn Wilson. Clearly this means Faris is headed for a spot on NBC's Thursday night lineup.Sean Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-17115415042141890542010-10-25T02:00:04.022-04:002010-10-25T02:00:04.022-04:00she's AMAZINGGGGGGG in smiley face!!!

She has made a ton of awful movies but she's always the MVP in all of them and everyone can see she deserves much better.<br /><br />I thought The House Bunny was a lovely mess. Horrible but still a lot of fun. And she was exquisitely funny. And that face. Those eyes and those expressions. <br /><br />She rocks.
