Summary: Loved This Movie..
Review: (...)P>Back to my review. It had, sex, plot, drugs, comedy.. My God do I need to go on. I think the actors and the director felt each other in the progress of making this movie.

Emily Bronte' wrote about Love and Friendship with a poem. I felt that this movie shows us that. I liked this film a lot.

Is it perfect.? Hell no.. But how many times did you have perfect sex !! yet you enjoyed it and did it again..:P Watch this movie, You may just buy it and watch it again.. *smile*

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: unexpected, cool and scary
Review: A little bit like Pulp fiction. Do I have to say more...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: my new favorite day of the week
Review: although not quite as polished or produced as say "pulp fiction" this independent gem from skip woods really delivers,the at one time hardened casey has changed his ways and location from feared LA drug dealer to yuppie houston architect until a visit from an old partner in crime completly in every way immaginable dirupts his quiet "thursday" complete with requesite violence and sinister plot twists its hard to turn away even for a few seconds, this one will not diappoint. if possible i recomend the unrated directors cut.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Why doesn't anyone speak of Paulina?
Review: Everything that's been said is true ... but I wonder why nobody mentions Paulina Porizkova! She was one bad chick!! Wonderful movie, but again, like said above ... why so much for a used CD? I sure wish I had a few copies ... I'd sell 'em for half that and be thrilled - HA!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Low-budget spiff on a white suburban, once-hardened criminal
Review: I am constantly amused by low-budget or indie films that must create inventive scripts and cinematography to find their niche among the blockbusters. This film portrays a rather boring suburban "house-husband" who is visited by his reckless, lawless past. A series of dark comedic events ensue as he attempts to hold on to his neat, little life while the chaos of his former takes it all away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: funniest movie you never heard of
Review: I came across this gem when it came out on video in Dec1998.

With no major stars it is a hard push. It is one of thefunniest movies I have ever seen. If Jim Carey and Dave Spade are funny to you, forget this movie; you got no taste.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb Movie
Review: I first saw this movie at a friends house. When he said we're watching Thursday I thought he meant Friday (with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker). This movie was very suprising to me. It is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Aaron Eckhart (Nick) and Thomas Jane (Casey) do an outstanding job in showing just how bad one day can get. i highly recommend this movie to anyone who like comedies with a twist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A PLEASANT SURPRISE
Review: I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS MOVIE BECAUSE I KNEW MICKEY ROURKE HAD A SMALL PART IN IT. WHAT I GOT INSTEAD WAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE. I WAS SO WRAPPED UP IN MY ENJOYMENT OF THIS FILM THAT I FORGOT HE WAS EVEN IN IT UNTIL HE POPPED UP AT THE DOOR NEAR THE END. GOOD ACTING BY ALL INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY PAULINA PORIZKOVA. SHE (AND HER 2 BODY DOUBLES) ARE TOTALLY HOT IN THIS FLICK. IT'S NOT HARD TO GUESS WHERE THE 3 EXTRA MINUTES OF THIS UNRATED DIRECTOR'S CUT WERE INSERTED. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MY FRIENDS COME OVER TO BORROW A MOVIE AND I CAN SPRING THIS ONE ON THEM. IT WILL TOTALLY COME OUT OF LEFT FIELD AT THEM LIKE IT DID ME. IT PAYS TO DO A LITTLE SURFING TO FIND A SURPRISING LITTLE GEM LIKE THIS ONE. SEE YOU THURSDAY.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: favorite Day of the week
Review: I was gripped by thursday from start to finish. Thomas Jane is brilliant as Casey as is Aaron Eckhart as Nick. The script is excellent, mixing humour with classic 'tough guy' lines, such as;
(as Glenn Plummer has a gun under his chin) Plummer:"Know what happens if I pull this trigger"?, Casey:"You repaint my ceiling". Casey's transformation from a tame 'house-husband' to a hardened criminal is brilliantly captured. At first it seems like mere anger but then you realise that he is capable of anything. Paulina Porizkova and James LeGros co-star as Nick's vengefull partners, who come looking for Nick and end up at Casey's house!
Overall I would say this - try to look past the violence and instead look at the script and the acting and you'll see a gripping and powerfull film. Also, when my friend broke his arm he kept saying to himself "be like Casey. be like Casey". If 'Thursday' had such a profound influence on him that he looked to the main character for reassurance when he was in EXTREME pain, then it much be worth watching. At least so that you can come to your own conclusion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sleek, sexy, violent good time
Review: I went right out and bought the video after renting this movie. It has some Tarantino-esque scenes involving guns and drug dealers, but overall, this is a great, fast-moving film with colorful characters and terrific acting.
