The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)

Not everybody keeps movie tix, not every movie would be worth it anyway, but I used to keep my movie tix to keep in my photo albums. It is fun to look back at pictures to myself, my friends, where I used to live ~ and see the movies I was seeing at the time. You can almost go right back to the time when someone asks, “Did you see Top Gun (1986)?” or “Who did you see Usual Suspects (1994) with?” I can often answer that question ~ Movies have become crazy expensive, but I still make sure to see some movies in the theatre.
In 1996 I saw Long Kiss Good Night (for just $3.00), staring Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Yvonne Zima. I personally really liked Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson and wouldn’t normally put them together in a movie, but in this movie, it worked. I have two favorite parts of this movie, one is when Geena’s character is starting to remember her past life through strange skills she has. She is in the kitchen, cutting veggies, and suddenly becomes VERY skilled with a knife. She does a great job being a sweet mommy and badass chick at the same time. The other part I like is when being chased by the bad guys, Geena and Samuel have to jump out a window of a building onto a frozen lake ~ which I believe she shoots as they jump so that the ice is broken when they land! The dialogue is great for this type of movie and if you haven’t already seen it, I recommend it for sure! ~
