Hey everybody. Looks like we have let another year go by without doing a lot of things we want to do. Bummer.
Has this been a terrible Christmas season for movies? I can't recall when there has been a holiday season with so few good movies. My wife and I went out to eat today and had planned on going to the show. There was, however, no show I wanted to see and she didn't want to see what was available either. It worked out okay, though. When we got home there was a great movie on TV.
The Long Kiss Goodnight is funny, sexy and action packed. It is edgy. In short, the guy who wrote it writes like me. The film stars Geena Davis as a lady who has amnesia but has built a new life as a school teacher, wife and mother. Samuel L. Jackson stars as a private detective who is trying to help her discover her past. They find out the hard way that she was a spy and an assassin for her government. They also find out, the hard way, that a number of people want her dead. What follows is one of the best action movies of all time. Call it four stars out of four. Call it five stars out of five, just don't call it one you've never seen.
Jackson's role here is Oscar worthy, if those awards were given by the fans and not by the stuffed shirts at the academy. I'd call it brilliant. Geena Davis joined the ranks of a select few women who can deliver a butt-kicking action role with verve and style and things I can't talk about on a 'G' rated blog. Yeah, its that good. 'Nuff said.
