Four nights, three and a half days ago

Hello – it’s Stephen. Sorry, but I forgot to say that I watched Six Days, Seven Nights on TV on Sunday night. If I don’t add it here then the film review element of this web diary will be incomplete.

This is a pretty mediocre film starring Han Solo and Anne Heche. They’re a mis-matched pair who get stuck on a desert island together, whilst their partners look for them and then give up on them. Nicely, Han Solo ends up battling the guy who played Jango Fett in Star Wars Episode 2 Attack Of The Clones (SWE2AOTC). Jango ends up dying when a rocket goes wrong – the same way (well, similar to the way) his son, Boba, dies in SWE6ROTJ!

Anne Heche’s character works for a magazine in New York, and so doesn’t think much of Indiana Jones’s pilot character. Of course, by the end they’re in love and entering a relationship which, let’s face it, doesn’t have a future.

David Schwimmer (Ross from Friends) plays Anne Heche’s other half. This is a bad sign. Without exception, no Friends star is ever good in a movie. Ever. With the possible exception of Lisa Kudrow, I suppose.

Jack Ryan is watchable in anything, so it gains a star from having him in, but otherwise the film’s a bit silly. Reasonable waste of a Sunday evening I suppose. Two stars. And that’s quite generous.
