The Long Kiss Goodnight
So the other night I saw they were running The Long Kiss Goodnight so I TiVo'd it. This is an excellent action film with Geena Davis (yes, I said Geena Davis and action film in the same sentence). She's the school teacher that “private eye” (use that term loosely) Samuel Jackson refers to as “amnesia chick”. Turns out they found her on the beach eight years ago with no memory. A car crash, some strange dreams and a little bit of info dug up by the private eye and we on our way.
It's a good chase from there to figure out who's bad and who's good and who's really bad. It's definitely a different movie for Geena so check it out on the late night movies, NetFlix it or (gasp) physically leave the couch and go to the video store. The picture on the cover of the DVD does nothing to promote the film, maybe it's supposed to look like Lethal Weapon or something.
So this movie makes me think of friend from high school, Ken Christensen, I'm not sure if it's the plot, Geena Davis or both. But this came out after the last time I've seen him so I know we never talked about it or saw it, but I can't get that thought out of my head...
