_Thursday_ also got slammed on its DVD release. The company that was releasing it went out of business right after releasing the movie so it got no promotion or follow-up.

[Executive Decision](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116253/) with Kurt Russell and Halle Berry.

Taut action flick about a Special Ops team attempting to thwart a highjacking. (I will admit the ending gets a little loopy.)

Also, to everyone’s delight:

Steven Segal dies in the first 30 minutes of the movie.

(No, the above does not say, We get to see Halle Berry’s boobs.)

I have two movies. One, only one other person I’ve met has seen it and we both loved it so much that we would compete for who could remember lines from memory the longest. I will add that no one I’ve played these movies for has not enjoyed them. They’re both silly sort of AmeriBritish movies.

The first up is **Hawks**  
The other is **American Dreamer**.

You can find both on IMDB. (Sorry, always screw up embedded links. )

Youse fancypants, alla youse! 😉
