In the beginning(1991), there was Man In the Moon. Reese played 14 year old Dani Trant, a girl experiancing first love, dealing with death, and a little bit of Elvis. *****

Next Reese popped up on the Made for TV movie, Desperate Choices to Save My Child. There she played Ellie Perkins, a 1940's teenager whose sympathy and encouragement changes the life of an epileptic child.

Her next two projects were both for TV. In 1992 NBC's Desperate Choices:To Save My Child, where she played Cassie Robbins, and the 1993 CBS mini-series Return to Lonesome Dove, as the salty Ferris Dunnegan.

1993 also brought Reese's biggest film yet, Disney's A Far Off Place.In this film Reese played Noni Parker, an indepent girl trekking across the Kalahari Desert with the help of a good friend, and a not so friendly acquaintance, that could blossom into more. To prepare she had to perfect the Bushman language by studying with a Matabele tribe. This was shot on location in Africa's Kalahari Desert. **** Good but, predictable.

1993 also brought forth Reese's 3rd big flick, Jack the Bear. She plays Karen Morris love interest of the main character. Her part is very small, but the movie is interesting, so I have to give it a ***.

Reese was introduced to the indie world in 1994 with the satire S.F.W.(aka So Fucking What). Reese is Wendy Pfister, one of the only 2 survivors of a 5 person hostages crisis. Turned into heroes, what are 2 kids to do? Raise some hell, play some music, and laugh at the world today. Another ***** performance.

Next came Reese's biggest film to date. A thriller called Fear. Reese plays Nicole Walker, innocent girl gone bad, all for her all to good to be true boyfriend. To bad things can't stay that way. Infamous for the rollercoaster scene. Ask any highschooler, they've all seen or heard of it, some just cause of that. Reese is good, but not her top performance. ****

Next came another indie release, Freeway. Reese plays Vanessa Lutz, illiterate slum living teen. When her parents get arrested she runs off to live with her grandmother, but nothing goes as planned. A two thumbs up movie, that did well with critics and fans alike. *****

Reese finished up 1996 with Overnight Delivery. Reese portrays Ivy Miller stripper/college student, who goes on a quest to nab a package before it ruins a friends relationship. Funny, cute, and unbelievably predictable, but worth a rental to check out Reese's dark hair hue. ***

1998 brought Reese a small but risque part in Twilight. She plays Mel Ames madly misunderstood teen daughter, who runs off to live with her boyfriend, which leads to crazy events in this long boring flick. **

Most recently Reese graced us with her presence in Pleasantville, as Jennifer/Mary Sue Parker. This black and white, gone color movie made lots of talk, and #1 in the country. Reese shows her amazing range and abilities yet to have flourished. *****

Reese also is said to have a cameo or something in 1998's Desert Blue. Anyone with info should contact me! What's next for Reese? Check it out the Upcoming Projects section.
