Review of Weird Science (1985) by Håvard P — 20 Dec 2009

Just watched this again last night with my son so I thought i'd come on here and re-new my review. This is a timeless classic and another one of the late great John Hughes terrific 80's flicks.

Love seeing a very young Robert Downey Jr. I often forget how funny he was back then before he hit his serious actor side which I like more by the way, however its nice to look back and see these major stars when they were first starting in the business.

Where are they now? Well Ilan Mitchell-Smith who portrayed Wyatt is now a professor at a university in Texas who apparently now this maybe a rumor, doesn't like to have his picture taken with students for fear that they are only remembering him as Wyatt.

Kelly Lebrock who portrays Lisa was married in real life for awhile to Steven Seagal, she now has 3 children and had suspended her career in acting to raise them lately she has been acting again with bit parts in a few movies here and there.

Anthony Michael Hall is still acting his heart out. He is the main character in usa network's The Dead Zone and has done bit parts in countlerss other big screen titles including most recently portraying Mike Engel in The Dark Knight.

Robert Downey Jr. who I simply title the comeback kid, after many years of a major drug addiction is now slaying them at the box office with his latest being a portrayal of the title charector in Sherlock Holmes and soon re-playing Tony Stark in Iron Man 2.
