I'm trying to recall when she was hottest. Probably Less than Zero.
She got her 'start' [at least a big one] playing middle-school BFFs with Sarah-Jessica Parker [which I actually missed myself, until it was streamed on one of the first HDTV channels, HDNET, . . . it was one of the few 80s sitcoms recorded on film.]
Even older, she played 5 years as the hot housewife, in the mold of Leah Remini on King of Queens, married to 'King Robert Baratheon' Mark Addy in the early 00s on 'Still Standing.'
She strikes me as the predessor of Erin Hayes [who ironically had an ill-fated stint as Kevin James' spouse in his attempt to return to KoQ roots.]. Probably influenced by Gertz playing years on ER, and Hayes playing years on Children's Hospital, too.
Yeah, man. Looking at her Wiki, it appears she was just before my time. Prior to Lost Boys I had only seen one movie on her filmography and that was Twister! She was attractive in that one but a bit past her prime.
She was hot as hell. Shit, she still looks great now and she's my age. And what's wrong with her voice? She was annoying in Twister, but that's not how she sounds normally. It's not like she's Fran Dresher or anything. [Reply]

I'll admit, I always thought Fran Drescher was sexy in that show she was in.. can't remember the name..
It was entertaining but I think that was more due to the fact that I love the Terminator lore. It's not nearly as good as T1 and T2 despite heavily using themes from both.
I will say their depiction of the flashback from the future (weird) was fucking terrifying. Those Rev-9s with the shabby tentacles are nightmare fuel.
Rocketman just took me through a roller coaster ride of Elton John's life up to a specific point in time. And it was great. Sad, happy, hopeful, exhilarated, depressed, suicidal, infuriated, exhilarated, happy, content, and then all over again but in a completely different order. Big fan of these types of movies and this is one of the best. I highly recommend you watch Rocketman with the disclaimer that you don't do it with children present and engaged. This son of a bitch grabbed me and pulled me right in from the motherfucking start, man, and I enjoyed the ride a great deal. If you like biscuits and gravy or chimichanga's, you will enjoy Rocketman.

The Dark and the Wicked is a very well executed new horror flick. Evil presence, farmhouse, etc.
Its well acted, with enough scare moments, a classic score, and overall uncomfortable vibe. Nothing new per se but some of the classic tricks executed superbly. Recommended. [Reply]
