	Romancing the Stone [Blu-ray]
	by 20th Century Fox Sales Rank: 7879 Price: $25.99

When her sister is kidnapped by thugs searching for a priceless jewel in the Colombian jungle, a romance novelist (Kathleen Turner) soon finds her own life filled with cliffhangers and danger. All alone, she sets out to rescue her sister and meets up with a handsome fortune seeker (Michael Douglas) who convinces her to beat the bandits to the treasure. *Viewer Reviews* Romancing the Stone is a beautiful movie. Many compare it to Indiana Jones but it should be noted that the story for Romancing the Stone was written several years before Indiana Jones by the late Diane Thomas - The story is a classic. This movie ranks up there with my top 10 favorite entertainment movies of all time. The story centers around a writer who writes romance novels. All of her stories feature Jessie, the rough tough male figure that saves the strong independent heroine at the end. Just as Joan Wilder finishes writing her last story, she (played wonderfully by Kathleen Turner) is called away to Colombia to save her sister who apparently is involved with some bad hombres down there in Colombia. In the course of the story Joan meets her Jessie - Jack T Colton - played by Michael Douglas. Both he and she fight off the secret Colombian police played by Manuel Ojeda who creates one of the most convincing villains I have ever seen. Danny Devito also delivers a wonderful performance along with Alfonso Arau, Holland Taylor, and Zack Norman all deliver wonderful performances. The special edition is remade in an interesting fashion. The usual feature lenght commentary's aren't found in these CDs but they do have some great interviews with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner that are worth seeing. This DVD really pays homage to Diane Thomas. I didn't know that Diane Thomas was working in a diner and served coffee to Michael Douglas and then pitched him the story Romancing the Stone. Sadly Diane died in a car crash a few years later. The real life story makes Romancing the Stone even more memorable and definitely sets it apart from the Indiana Jones franchises. Indiana Jones is Saturday Matinee serial stories - lots of action and adventure with a dash of comedy and a pinch of romance. Romancing the Stone is a Treasure Hunt + Romance + heroine leaving her nest of NYC and spreading her wings + adventure + heroine finding her Jessie (Jack), finding her Man + exotic locale. Of note, most of this film was shot in Mexico because Colombia was deemed to dangerous - who knew Mexico had places as beautiful as that. Back To Top
