Carla gugino today8/13/2023 57 years after Alfred Hitchcock unleashed Psycho on an unsuspecting moviegoing culture, finding new things to say about it feels like a fool’s errand, but hey: We’re fools. The biggest one, perhaps, though if not, it’s still pretty goddamn big. Stars: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, Martin Balsam, John Gavin The best horror movies streaming on Shudder. The best horror movies streaming on Hulu. The best horror movies streaming on Amazon Prime. You may also want to consult the following horror-centric lists: The highest-ranked films are obviously essentials. The lowest-ranked films are of the “fun-bad” variety-flawed, but easily enjoyable for one reason or another. We invite you to use this list as a guide. They’re not technically movies, but they’re impossible to leave off this list. Don’t expect to find many franchise staples in the mold of Halloween or Friday the 13th, but don’t sleep on The Haunting of Hill House, Cabinet of Curiosities or Midnight Mass, either. Still, there are quality films to be found here, typically of the modern variety, from classics like Psycho, to comedies like The Babysitter, to more obscure (and disturbing) titles such as Creep, Apostle or newer films like His House and the Fear Street trilogy. All of those films are now gone-usually replaced by low-budget, direct-to-VOD films with suspiciously similar one-word titles, like Demonic, Desolate and Incarnate. At various points in the last year, for instance, Netflix could boast The Shining, Scream, Jaws, The Silence of the Lambs or Young Frankenstein, along with recent indie greats like The Witch, The Descent or The Babadook. As competing services, and especially genre-specific ones such as Shudder, continue to expand their horror movie collections, it’s harder and harder for Netflix to project any sense of comprehensiveness, and its library becomes more static and reliant upon Netflix Originals on a monthly basis. She has several films currently in post production, and is now a household name across America and the UK.Assessing the quality of offerings available from Netflix in 2023, it quickly becomes clear that their horror library is a real mixed bag. Gugino continues to be cast in major motion pictures and in TV series, recently appearing in Manhunt: Deadly Games and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Gugino has been nominated for numerous accolades, including a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Teen Choice Award and a Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Award. Outside of television and film, the versatile and skilled actress has also appeared on stage in several high profile productions such as After the Fall, an Off-Broadway run of Suddenly Last Summer and Desire Under the Elms at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. With her reputation as an actress reaching new heights, Gugino began to win bigger and bigger roles, such as in the Spy Kids trilogy, Night at the Museum, American Gangster, Watchmen and Sucker Punch. Her first film part was in Troop Beverly Hills, and she was quickly snapped up to appear in music videos such as Bon Jovi’s Always and on UK television series The Buccaneers. Hugely talented actress and TV star Carla Gugino is best known for her roles in blockbuster films such as Night at the Museum, Sucker Punch and Watchmen.Īfter working as a fashion model as a teenager, Gugino started taking acting classes and soon started landing minor roles on television shows including Falcon Crest, The Wonder Years and Miss Bliss.

Jessica tuck bikini8/13/2023 But then they kept growing and growing and growing, and it didn't seem like they were going to stop."Īfter two of years of feeling unhappy with her body and encountering body-shaming comments, she ultimately decided to get reduction surgery. "I remember being in my sister's wedding and being so flat and thinking, 'I just wish I could grow boobs!' And then overnight I did. "It really did happen overnight," she said. Speaking to in 2015, Ariel Winter spoke about how she was left in emotional and physical pain after the overwhelming development of her breasts at the age of 15, when her cup size went from 32F to 34D. She added of the song: "It was really important to me that this song would not come off as, 'Look at me and my big boobs! I'm so sexy, oooh!' I wanted it to invite women in." Ariel Winter She told Entertainment Weekly in 2016 of her inspiration: "My boobs were a burden, because when they were painful, nothing would get done. On her musical comedy show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, she famously performed the song "Heavy Boobs." But I already feel more comfortable and relieved." I'm still healing so we'll see what happens. My request was to just go back my pre-pregnancy size (if not maybe a little bit smaller). "I met with 3 doctors and, over the course of a few months, settled on someone lovely. So at the end of it all it felt like I had a pair of big soft balls weighing down my chest."Ī post shared by Rachel Bloom went on: "I started to get underboob rashes, shoulder grooving (when your bra strap digs into your skin), neck issues and night sweats (I couldn't fall asleep unless I had a pillow in BETWEEN my breasts). Then, after breastfeeding, their entire texture changed they got super super soft, which is a thing that pregnancy/breastfeeding does that no one really tells you about. "But then, I got pregnant and grew very quickly from a dd/ddd to a size G. I mean, at times, my dd/ddd boobs (size dependent on time of month) were annoying and sweaty (and yes, heavy), but I was lucky to never really experience major physical discomfort from them. I was pretty happy with where my body was at. Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic /Michael Kovac/Getty Images for 101 Studios Rachel BloomĮarlier this month, Rachel Bloom took to Instagram to share before-and-after photos of herself in a clinic as she revealed to her followers that she had also undergone the surgical procedure.Īdding a lengthy caption, the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star wrote: "I did it! Context: Before pregnancy, I hadn't ever craved a breast reduction. I guess it's possible that "Amy" detractors are NYPD Blue fans upset that "Amy" always beats it in the ratings, but that's hardly an excuse for trashing a good show.(L-R) Actresses Rachel Bloom and Ariel Winter are among a host of stars who have spoken candidly about their decision to undergo breast reduction surgery. The other characters are often used in lighter subplots, but are compelling and well-rounded people in their own right. Kevin Rahm as Kyle is doing a fine job, and the character is growing on me, but I really liked the affectionate/prickly/challenging relationships between the main triangle of Amy, Maxine, and Vincent. My favorite of all the "boyfriends" was Stu (Reed Diamond) I found his history with Amy and the way the relationship was developing well worth exploring. I do think that over the years the show has suffered from too much turnover in Amy's love life-she never seems to date anyone for more than 3 or 4 consecutive shows. And to say that male characters are treated unfairly is patently ridiculous. The two most important characters are women, but "Amy" has never been one of those shows concerned primarily with emotions and issues unique to women (like "Sisters" or "One Day At A Time")-the third most important character has always been a man (first Vincent, then Kyle). As to whether this is a "woman's show:" first of all, I'm a man, and have loved the show from Week One. Other than that, there is no left to lean. The only reason I can see for lodging the charge that "Judging Amy" is "left-leaning" is that characters who fall outside the "married-white-protestant-middleclass-traditional-family" group (in other words, most everyone) aren't stoned to death on the show. Issues which come up during the cases heard by Amy or handled by Maxine are decided in the interest of the child-that's the whole point of the juvenile justice system. For one thing, this show is about as nonpolitical as a show about a judge can be. I don't know what show some of the "critics" have been watching, because many of the complaints can't possibly apply to the "Judging Amy" I've been watching.

Pf changes salt lae city8/13/2023 Lastly, if you like dim sum as much as I do, then consider heading to Hong Kong Tea Houseor Ho Ho Gourmet. Or if you prefer to stick with a familiar - though high-end - chain, head downtown and to P.F. If you feeling like eating at home, call Sampan for delivery or takeout this reliably good restaurant offers enormous portions for little cost. In fact, the imitation “chicken” used at this restaurant is so tasty that non-vegetarians opt for this in favor of the real deal. The Shanghai Cafe specializes in vegetarian cuisine, providing non-meat-eaters with more variety than just tofu as a main dish. 174 West 300 South Salt Lake City, UT 84101 Directions (801) 539-0500 menu Collections In 1 Public Collection missa EoE Overall Rating Tried their GF chicken Lettuce wraps and GF broccoli beef. This nationally recognized establishment offers creek-side patio dining and elegantly presented dishes. The kitchen of The Szechuan Garden, for example, is led by a five-star master chef, and is staffed with yet more chefs hailing from Hong Kong to San Francisco. Good news for those in Salt Lake City: this valley's best Chinese restaurants have figured out how to craft tasty dishes without sacrificing freshness - or relying on MSG as a primary spice. And as much as people adore its flavor spectrum, they gasp at the nutritional content, and grow dehydrated from sodium overdoses. But somewhere along the way, Chinese food became known as a generic, salty, and cheap cuisine. The extreme abundance of Chinese restaurants in big cities (and rural villages) proves this. They love it for its rich flavors, satisfying sauces, tender meats, and plump vegetables. Americans have a love-hate relationship with Chinese food.

Harry styles and olivia wilde june 20218/13/2023 "So everyone was really surprised-and rather delighted-when Harry brought Olivia as his date to the wedding, and introduced her as his girlfriend.” “Harry had been staying at James Corden’s house near Palm Springs during filming, and so they were able to be alone and keep their relationship very secret," the outlet's source said. It was only a matter of time before they got together.”Ī Page Six source claimed that none other than James Corden helped facilitate the relationship by allowing Styles and Wilde to stay at his California home while shooting their movie. Another source said the pair “had chemistry almost instantaneously on set. A source told Us Weeklythat Styles had referred to Wilde as his “girlfriend” during a speech at the wedding. The following day, several outlets had intel on Styles and Wilde’s dynamic, which ELLE rounded up. Theo Wargo // Getty Images January 5, 2021 They went to a wedding together with a lot of their friends there.” It’s no surprise something has happened, but now they’re quite open about it and out and about as a couple.

Per the outlet, the couple looked “very much together” at the nuptials, attended by just 16. Meanwhile, an insider told TMZ that Styles officiated Azoff’s wedding and brought Wilde as his plus one to the wedding. “They were affectionate around their friends, held hands and looked very happy. “They were in Montecito, California this weekend for a wedding,” a source explained.

After Owens said, in part, “Bring back manly men,” Wilde replied, “You’re pathetic.” If those weren't ringing endorsements enough, Wilde also defended Styles’s gown on the cover against conservative commentator Candace Owens. It’s very heightened and opulent, and I’m really grateful that he is so enthusiastic about that element of the process-some actors just don’t care.” “She and I did a little victory dance when we heard that we officially had Harry in the film, because we knew that he has a real appreciation for fashion and style,” Wilde told the outlet. She also spoke about the moment she and the film’s costume designer, Arianne Phillips, found out Styles would be joining the cast. It’s pretty powerful and kind of extraordinary to see someone in his position redefining what it can mean to be a man with confidence.” “I think he is in many ways championing that, spearheading that. “To me, he’s very modern, and I hope that this brand of confidence as a male that Harry has-truly devoid of any traces of toxic masculinity-is indicative of his generation and therefore the future of the world,” she said in the profile. The first time Wilde publicly spoke about Styles was for his cover interview with Vogue. View full post on Instagram November 13, 2020 Very proud to work with these fine folks.

Michael k williams captain phillips8/13/2023 Between 20, he starred in Boardwalk Empire, produced by Martin Scorsese, as the nattily dressed 20s Atlantic City bootlegger and racketeer Albert “Chalky” White. Williams enjoyed success in other acclaimed HBO series. Michaek K Williams in Boardwalk Empire, 2010, directed by Martin Scorsese. He dies instantly and ignominiously on the floor of a convenience store. In the fifth and final season of The Wire, the apparently immortal Omar is killed at last – not by the Barksdales but by a twitchy child bandit. Williams received it after being slashed with a razor during a fight on his 25th birthday. The scar that ran vertically down his face was a bonus. It’s all the game, though, right?”Īsked in court how a man gets away for years robbing drug dealers and lives to tell the tale, he says coolly: “Day at a time, I suppose.” The character’s calm fearlessness was expressed by Williams’s natural poise and stillness. When a lawyer accuses him of being a parasite, he responds: “I got the shotgun. A high-calibre writing team, including the crime novelists Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos and Richard Price, ensured that he was eloquent and averse to profanity, and even permitted him to distil the show’s philosophy into an aside. Omar’s appeal derived from more than just his sexuality. And he’s the toughest, baddest guy on the show, but he’s gay. “That’s not an endorsement – he is not my favourite person – but he’s a fascinating character: a gay gangster who only robs drug dealers, and then gives back, sort of a Robin Hood. “Omar’s a great guy,” said Barack Obama during his first presidential campaign. (“Omar coming!” cry the teenage dealers, scurrying away.)Īn unapologetically gay character, let alone one whose sex life is shown with such frankness, was a novelty in the macho hothouse of the TV crime genre. Williams, who has died aged 54, Omar was enigmatic, seductive and defiant, not to mention confident enough in his own skin to pop to the corner store for cereal dressed only in a turquoise silk dressing gown. One eccentric figure towered above the rest: Omar Little, the gay, dandyish highwayman who gets his kicks, and his cash, from robbing the mighty, murderous Barksdale clan.

Dyson airwrap complete vs ghd helios8/12/2023 Ionic technology is popular in many heat-styling tools, as by heating evenly and drying the hair quickly it helps reduce heat damage, and seals in moisture for shiny and hydrated hair. These ions break up the water molecules in your hair, allowing ionic hair dryers to dry your hair more quickly and spread moisture more evenly throughout your hair for a smooth and glossy finish. Many modern hair dryers also include ionic technology in which, put simply, negatively charged ions are generated when the air passes through an electric current in the heating element.

When testing, we time the speed of drying from freshly washed hair to fully dry (noting the hair length and texture we test on) and evaluate the overall ease of use, noise, and the finish and feel of the hair after drying. Where dryers are recommended for a particular hair type or usage, we test on that hair type to be sure of making an accurate recommendation.

Worms w.m.d series8/12/2023 If you go in, you can see and shoot out of the building but worms outside cannot see or shoot in. At that point, you can see the interior depicted by black terrain. Structures around the map appear the same as normal terrain until you get close and find an opening. While maybe not as immediately game-changing, the implementation of enterable buildings might be the most clever design element in W.M.D. The weapons aren’t quite as straightforward as they might seem the machine gun has a lot of recoil, the mortar requires careful use of angles for indirect fire and you need to keep an eye on the wind direction before using the flamethrower. Scattered around will be machine gun, mortar, sniper and flamethrower emplacements that are a bit more potent than basic worm weaponry. Vehicles might just be the best addition here, giving you new traversal options and some a fresh take on cover.Įmplacements are a bit less exciting but still meaningful. It is also possible to pull a worm out of a vehicle if you get close. Any worm inside a vehicle when a turn ends will take less damage from enemy attacks, but after a vehicle takes enough damage, it will explode and hurt whoever is inside. The mech has rocket-boosters that let you fly short distances after jumping, and comes with a slam attack that can send worms flying. Mechs and helicopters are even more maneuverable helicopters can simply fly around, reigning unwieldy machine gun fire on unsuspecting worms below. If you get to a large cliff you’ll need to get out, but these two vehicles still come in quite handy, especially the Tank which can lob a series of shells at near or distant targets. They can also jump, which looks ridiculous, but lets you clear the larger holes in terrain that tend to form from explosions or make it up short lips. Tanks and race cars can drive over smaller obstacles that a worm might get stuck on, ignoring small bumps and lips. Fortunately, Team17 came up with quite a good solution for the tanks, helicopters, mechs and race cars you find scattered around. It’s hard to figure how vehicles would fit into a Worms game given the obstacle-ridden and often vertically oriented terrain without some kind of compromise to map complexity. The first thing you will probably notice are the vehicles and weapon emplacements scattered around the maps. However, as with every Worms entry, there are some new additions, and this time they are actually quite meaningful. All of these elements are present and accounted for with Worms W.M.D. For those unfamiliar with the series, the core gameplay loop that has endured for over two decades is a turn based deathmatch between teams of goofily adorned and voiced worms fighting to destroy each other with a large arsenal of comical weapons on a randomly generated, deformable 2-D map.
