On Friday pay day(!),

 

You need to hire Christian Wolff as your accountant.

 

after getting some work done (but not enough!!), I
resolved to make yesterday a "movie day" when I got home, so I basically
did.

 

First, I put "Double Jeopardy" on Showtime on in the background. This is
a long-time guilty pleasure of mine, but I haven't see it in likely over
a decade. This time, I noticed that Keegan Connor Tracy has a bit part
in this (context: this film is set in Washington state and New Orleans,
but was primarily filmed in Vancouver!) - I didn't know Tracy has been
around that long!!

 

She was already 28 and had a handful of tiny roles on tv and in movies
since the previous year. The woman does not age.

 

I really don't remember her before she played Diane Hughes on Jake 2.0.

 

Also, I had forgotten that Michelle Stafford (Y&R,
and one-time GH) almost had a film career, having a notable bit part in
this film too!
    In watching this, I realized there hasn't been a film like this in a
long-time, and Hollywood needs to put out another flick like this with a
plucky betrayed woman/wife on a mission of revenge! Righteous REVENGE!!
while being pursued by somebody like Tommy Lee Jones!!

 

'Cuz Ashley Judd did 27 more of these?

 

Didn't I post about this a few months ago and weren't we making fun of
the legal concepts?

 Dear gawd, this movie made $117 million gross two and a half decades
ago. Ian's right. Hollywood needs more modest-budget movies with grosses
more than four times budget.
