Elizabeth Banks feels that bodily fluids are “all equal” when rating a film.
Elizabeth Banks has a few choice words for the members of the The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). We told you about her film ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’ winning an appeal to lower its U.S. cinema rating. Banks and co-star Seth Rogen’s racy new comedy was initially slapped with an adults-only NC-17 certification, which would have prohibited people younger than 17 from seeing the film.

Movie Review: Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno
I have a theory that Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno is actually just a chronology of Smith’s career so far as a filmmaker. The film starts off much like Clerks, with Seth Rogen trying to wake up for his dreadful job. Minutes later he is walking through the local mall with his roommate and best friend Miri, played by Elizabeth Banks, in a scene that is reminiscent of Mallrats. The high school reunion sequence that follows feels oh so Chasing Amy. And when Zack and Miri must band togethe

Anyhoo, Rogen admits that when he initially came to Hollywood that all he wanted was to work with Kevin Smith. His wish was granted. Rogen stars with Elizabeth Banks in Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” a romantic comedy with a whole lot of skin showing. The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a

Elizabeth Banks funny, filthy
TORONTO - Bawdy, beautiful Elizabeth Banks is shivering, curled up in the refrigerated hotel suite where interviews for her latest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, are happening. Her director, Kevin Smith, a publicist tells her, likes the temperature cold (shades, or chills, of David Letterman). "But I'm tiny," Banks protests with a laugh, wrapping herself in a sweater. Petite in size, maybe, but hardly in personality. Consider her breakthrough role in The 40-Year-Old Virgin as a dirty girl who

So sang the cast of the musical Hair more than 40 years ago. But it's a command that's fallen on deaf ears at the Motion Picture Association of America. Yesterday, the U.S. ratings board confirmed that it has banned the poster for the new Kevin Smith film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which has its world premiere Sunday at the Festival.
