I was going to watch this last night but fell asleep before I could press playDay 26: A movie that takes place in December but is not a Christmas movie
If you haven't seen it, give it a go. Also, the dad from The O.C. is in it.

A seminal influence on @crazychemgirl apparentlyDay 27: A holiday action film
Writer/actor/director Shane Black either loves or hates Christmas -- I am not sure which. In some films he seems to love the holiday, and others are much much darker on the subject ("Satan Claus is out there..."). His script for The Long Kiss Goodnight? You could go either way.
Gina Davis plays Samantha, a mild-mannered school teacher who one interesting story is that she is an amnesiac -- she can't remember anything prior to eight years before, when she was found pregnant on the New Jersey shore. She had hired several PIs over that time to find out who she was, and the latest was a washed up Mitch Henessey (Samuel L. Jackson), the only one should could afford. No one knows anything, and no one cares anymore. Then she is an accident near Christmas and, as often happens in cases of Magic Hollywood Amnesia, this starts her remembering a bit at a time. Not just memories, but skills start returning. And no, Sam, you weren't a chef. And other people start to notice
This is a mostly overlooked gem, with a good script, some fantastic action scenes, a great cast, a perfect hard-boiled detective film title, and Gina Davis kicking ass. It should be in the pantheon of Christmas Movies People Argue About a Lot, but it is often ignored.
The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman are utterly charming, Peter Boyle is a national treasure. Like a lot of RomComs, it is a cute movie if you don't think to hard about it. (You can flip most RomComs into horror movies with very little effort). But with those blinders on, it is a sweet little film. I liked it.Day 26: A movie that takes place in December but is not a Christmas movie
