Thursday!

One of the things I love about living in Costa Rica, is th great selection of obscure movies they show on cable here. Last night at like one in the morning, they show this flick, Thursday. For those of you who like Tarantino movies like Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction, this movie will be right up your alley. Lots of violence, humor and Paulina Porizkova! You can't ask for much more than that. There is a scene where she rapes the male protagonist of the movie at gunpoint. It is so over the top it had me blushing. This woman gives the term, sex appeal, an entire new meaning.

And what's up with Thomas Jane, doesn't he look just like Christopher Lambert?

I got a copy of The Punisher, the other night. The Punisher is another great Action Movie. I was struck by how much Jane looks like Lambert.

The great thing about Thursday is the ensemble cast. Hell, Mickey Rourke even makes an appearance. Speaking of Mickey, another wild movie I saw recently on the same cable channel was, Spun, this wild druggie movie staring Rourke as an Amphetamine cooker. I think you almost need to be on drugs to watch that one. It is like a car wreck that you just cant stop rubbernecking on. Hehe..

Rourke used to be one of my favorite actors, going back to, Year of the Dragon. Based on his IMDB record, he seems to have consistently worked, but the guy has never reached the potential you would have thought he had based on Year of the Dragon, and 9 1/2 weeks.

Anyway, I am still swamped with work, and I appreciate Michael and Beck putting up a couple of posts for me while I am busy. But I just had to share this with you. If anyone has seen Thursday, drop a comment on me and let me know what you think.

At the risk of being unspeakably shallow, I have to admit I think Paulina Porizkova is very near the top of my list of the sexiest women ever. So how do I find this movie?

Thomas Jane never looks like Thomas Jane in movies. The man who played the Punisher is the same same who got blown away with a shotgun by the crazy drug dealer in Boogie Nights. Jane is like the American Gary Oldman. He never plays or looks like himself in his movies. I bet he goes to the mall and know one ever recognizes him.

You are so right Michael, but he does look like Lambert at times dont you agree?

I think Christopher Lambert was a better Highlander than Adrian Paul. The best part of the pilot episode was Lambert punching out Paul.
