SHe is actually pretty good. The professional, Heat she is really good.

I suspect she has just picked poor scripts in most her roles.

Hey now! Teak has character. That's why it make beautiful furniture.

" Empire Strikes back is jumbled; no real beginning or end."

It's not supposed to. I understand that some people need simple stories wrapped up in a neat package, but don't blame the oive.
