Who's a girl gotta suck around here to get a drink? Thirty years ago this fall, raven-haired beauty Linda Fiorentino gifted us with one of the great femme fatales of all time in John Dahl’s excellent neo-noir The Last Seduction (1994). Bridget Gregory is iconic, a deliciously manipulative grifter with a sardonic streak. She’s cold … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Bridget Gregory in The Last Seduction
When it comes to minutes of screen time versus lasting impact, few horror movie characters make as much out of limited opportunities as the deliciously sassy tramp Eileen does in David Schmoeller’s excellent cult classic, Tourist Trap (1979). Eileen isn’t as charmed by old codger Mr. Slausen’s hick appeal as her friends are. Okay, okay, … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Eileen from Tourist Trap
Lakeview High’s popular prom queen Tamara Mason has it all: beauty, brains, a body that won’t quit, and the respect of her peers.

During the … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Tamara Mason from Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
The third of four cinematic collaborations between comedy legends Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) was a cable television staple in the early to mid-1990s. That’s where I saw it, over and over again, probably on my beloved WPIX-11. The film’s plot sounds like the setup for a joke: … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Eve from See No Evil, Hear No Evil
This one’s a slam dunk.

You get Ann-Margret having a ball in the … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Jezebel Dezire in The Cheap Detective
Some cinematic performances are so highly charged, so astonishingly assured, that we can still feel the reverberations years, even decades later. Lena Olin scorching the earth as Mona Demarkov in the excellent neo-noir classic Romeo is Bleeding (1993) is one such performance. Is Mona the most sexually uninhibited and ruthless femme fatale in movie history? … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Mona Demarkov from Romeo is Bleeding
I’ve never been particularly enamored with the Men in Black films. I like the first one, but my appreciation for it never rose to the level of love. I realize this puts me in the minority, but I would probably enjoy the MIB movies more if they made one important casting change. I’ll freely admit … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Serleena from Men in Black II
