Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

First Impression: I have been looking forward to this movie for so fucking long, ever since I knew it was in production, just because Kristen Bell looked completely HOT in that bikini.

Afterthoughts: Why do I always expect too much from a comedy. It was funny, but probably only for half of the movie. I couldn’t stand Russell Brand and his hobo hair, and can someone please get Jonah Hill off the big screen, he’s not as funny as he think he is. The only redeemable thing about this movie was of course Kristen Bell (looking HOT) as “sexy crime fighter” Sarah Marshall. You can pretty much forget about everyone else.

Kristen Bell in Maxim
Full Name: Kristen Anne Bell
Birth date: July 18, 1980 (27yo)
Height: 5′ 1″ (155cm)
Eye Color: Blue
Requested by: Jessie

Why is she featured?
Because no one can resist Kristen Bell, other than Abha.

Wait a minute, I think you have her age wrong. Are you sure she’s not underage?
It’s ok, she really is 27 and it’s safe to oogle her.

What’s her story?
Kristen Bell, who grew up in Detroit and extremely fond of hockey, started her career in high school theatrical performances. When she graduated, she moved on to a few Broadway shows including The Crucible and Reefer Madness. After a number of insignificant roles on TV shows and movies, she finally landed the lead role on the teen drama Veronica Mars, a show heavily influenced by the film-noir genre and beloved by critics alike, described as the only show worth watching on UPN and later on the new CW network. Her gripping performance on VM not only landed her numerous award nominations and wins (including Teen Choice and Saturn Award) but also paved her road to stardom.

During the off season of the show, she also starred in films such as Pulse, 50 Pills, and the movie version of Reefer Madness: The Musical. Despite it’s cult status, Veronica Mars was canceled recently due to low rating, but the talented Kristen Bell already has a few projects lined up for the future.

Aside from her acting, Kristen is an avid animal lover and vegetarian. She once appeared on an episode of Punk’d which played on her love for abandoned dogs. She currently has two dogs, one named Shakey/Mr. Shake (Corgi/Chow) and Lola (Corgi/Chihuahua), which she had rescued. Kristen also appeared as #68 on the Maxim Hot 100 in 2005. From the pictures featured on this page, it’s clear she has the ability to be extremely sexy and yet quite innocent at the same time.

What’s her current project?
Kristen Bell will be narrating for the new CW TV show Gossip Girl. She has two new movies coming out in 2008, Fanboys and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Apparently, she will also guest star on the TV show Heroes for 13 episodes and appear on the video game Assassin’s Creed.

On scary movies: “I get really scared, like when the lights are out, I’m kind of a wuss.”

On being vegetarian: “I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with – dogs and cats, for example – from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts!”

I’ll miss you :(

Fifty Pills (2006)

Fifty Pills

First Impression: Kristen Bell was in it so I decided to check it out.

Afterthoughts: It’s an OK teen comedy. A lot classier than American Pie but some of the jokes were a little forced and fell flat. Kristen Bell wasn’t on much and she was only playing the sweet girl next door. I don’t really like the actor who plays Darren, the whiny protaganist who resorted to selling ecstasy in order to pay for tuition. It actually didn’t make a whole lot of sense because, hello, you have a fucking Mac on your desk retard and you’re only paying for $800 of tuition. Even though John Hensley’s character, Coleman was a real asshole and a MJ look-a-like, I loved his performance. I wouldn’t mind being roommate with him, so move over Darren.

(First day moving into dorm – Coleman talking to movers)
Coleman: It says “Bathroom” on the fucking box, does that look like the bathroom to you? What’s next? You’re gonna shit on my bed too?

Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005)

Reefer Madness

First Impression: Not a fan of musical, but I’ll make an exception for Kristen Bell, who is, incidentally, the star of my beloved show, Veronica Mars.

Afterthoughts: Not only do I love it, I’ve watched it so many times I can recite all the songs backwards. Such an awesome and snarky remake of the infamous propaganda film, Reefer Madness. I love this so much I bought the DVD online: it includes a scented case that smells like chocolate…mmm, the original black and white Reefer Madness plus behind-the scenes. The movie is about Jimmy Harper and how his life took a turn for the worse after he smoked the first puff of marijuana. The songs are all original and tongue-in-cheek and the cast sings incredibly well. Worth seeing over and over again.
