Parker Posey in “House Of Yes”
You need to check out House Of Yes. It is a real trip. I am sure some people will hate it, but hey, haters gonna be hating. Parker Posey’s performance is just incredible. An unstable Jackie O’ wannabe, her mood swings, rapid-fire one liners, and attitude make this film very special.
Genevieve Bujold as the matriarch shows a droll comic side that I have never seen in her before. There is a scene where she is trying to ship Tori Spelling off in a cab that is just hysterical.
Spelling is especially good as the naive Donut Queen who has no clue what she just walked into. Freddie Prinze Jr. is totes adorbs.
The plot is sick: incest, assassinations, mental instability, jealousy and denial. Perfect for the holidays!
