Have had a bit of a busier week this week, so haven't updated as much as I would've wanted to. But here we are again with this Friday's Top 5. Going to leave the romantic stuff for next Friday. This week we look quickly into the life of Thomas Jane, or more accurately, his career and why he's awesome.
5. Jonah Hex
He wanted to play Jonah Hex in the Justin Hayward movie, but the role went eventually to Josh Brolin. Movie turned out to be total crap, so bullet dodged there (That's not to say Jane hasn't done his share of crappy movies). Thomas Jane got a consolation price when he was cast to do the voice for Jonah Hex in a DC animated short, which is actually quite brilliant. Definitely worth checking out.
4. Scott Pilgrim's Vegan Police
I know, the movie's very recent, but I have to mention it here and spoil the cameo. Jane does a brilliant cameo in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World with Clifton Collins Jr.
3. "I Just Want My Kids Back!"
Well, this one just speaks for itself. Arrested Development should be on your to-watch list.
2. The Mist
Brilliant horror movie from Frank Darabont, based on Stephen King's novella. Definitely in the Top 5 Stephen King adaptations(that gives me an idea...)
1. The Punisher.
A review of this is coming up. My favourite Punisher movie by far, mostly because of Thomas Jane's perfect portayal of the comic book "hero".
Obviously there's tons of other reasons to love him, but these are the first that came to mind. You should also check out Stander, Hung and Deep Blue Sea and you can see him also in Boogie Nights and Face/Off. But please, stay away from Mutant Chronicles and Dreamcatcher(though I kinda have a sweet spot for this one, even though it's very bad).
That's it for this list. I know it's kind of short and there's only three videos, but I'll make it up to you guys next week with a better list and more stuff on the blog, so keep your eyes on this page! It's gonna be brilliant.
