This one also features 21 year old Gwyneth Paltrow as a splendid creature right out of a Jim Thompson novel.

One of my favorite comedies was the Quaid movie Undercover Blues but Stanley Tucci had much to do with that. I've heard Quaid had a big time cocaine habit which probably explains his failure to fulfill his potential.Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1141538483362268002006-03-05T00:01:00.000-06:002006-03-05T00:01:00.000-06:00I actually saw this at a theater and enjoyed it.I actually saw this at a theater and enjoyed it.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1141522378050786712006-03-04T19:32:00.000-06:002006-03-04T19:32:00.000-06:00Count me as another COMPANY fan.

The movie was a lot better than one would be led to expect by the previews.<BR/><BR/>And I saw the REAL Jerry Lee on PBS last night in a 1995 concert with Carl Perkins, Ronnie Hawkins, and 3/5 of The Band.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
