Welcome back to Born to Watch, where four old friends gather to relive the movies that have shaped their lives. In today's episode, we're diving headfirst into the action-packed world of the 1996 film "The Long Kiss Goodnight." So, grab your popcorn and settle in, because this one's a rollercoaster!
Before we get started, let's break it down, Born to Watch style, with "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."
The Good:
"The Long Kiss Goodnight" delivers on the action front with a vengeance. Director Renny Harlin knows how to blow things up, and Geena Davis as the ass-kicking amnesiac Samantha Caine is a force to be reckoned with. Her chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson's character, Mitch, is a highlight, and their banter is nothing short of hilarious.
The Bad:
Now, we're not experts, but even we couldn't ignore some of the over-the-top action sequences that had us scratching our heads. Remember that kitchen fight scene? Yeah, we've got some questions about the physics involved there.
The Ugly:
But hey, we're all about embracing the cheese, and "The Long Kiss Goodnight" serves up its fair share. Some of the one-liners and plot twists had us laughing out loud, but in the best way possible. It's the kind of film where you can't help but roll with the absurdity.
Will be interesting to see how Dan's movie snobbery goes with his 90's classic.
In the end, "The Long Kiss Goodnight" might not be an Oscar winner, but it's one heck of a good time. If you're in the mood for explosions, amnesia, and some seriously '90s action, this one's for you.
So, Watchers, whether you're a die-hard fan of this cult classic or you're discovering it for the first time, grab your friends, your favourite movie snacks, and tune in for another unforgettable episode. Until next time, keep watching, and keep laughing.
