![]() Richard Gere Triple Feature (An Officer and a Gentleman / Primal Fear / Runaway Bride) $24.99 I enjoy Richard Gere in just about everything I've seen him in, and appreciate getting a 3-in-1 for about the cost of one. You have a little of everything in this package - serious love and passion in An Officer & a Gentleman; fun love and whimsy in The Runaway Bride; and go-get-'em activity in Primal Fear. Good job! ![]() Runaway Bride: Music From The Motion Picture $11.98 In searching for this DVD I looked at several sights. Most had only used ones. This sight had many used and several new. I am very pleased with the promptness of their shipping. They said it could be two days to ship but delivery to my friend occurred on the third business after I ordered. I will certainly this again. Wanda Bayless ![]() My Best Friend's Wedding (Special Edition) $14.94 The opening credits song/dance number foreshadows the outcome of the story. What could be better than purity personified, "Kimmy," who is willing to do more than simply "wear your hair just for him" and "do the things he likes to do?" She decides to drop out of school (I suppose if you are an heiress, you will never have to worry about supporting yourself) to marry constantly-on-the-road sports writer, Michael. It's difficult to imagine that any man would not choose a grown-up, talented, confident, successful,and gorgeous "Julianne" over Kimmy except Julianne remains uncomfortable with "the yucky love stuff," despite her assurances to Michael that she has changed. Only when faced with her last opportunity to confess her feelings to Michael does she finally admit to being in love with him. Kimmy, on the other hand, has mastered "hugging, squeezing, kissing, and loving," even in public (as evidenced by the karaoke bar scene) unlike Julianne who consistently refuses to participate in PDA (i.e., public displays of affection). And, of course, to ensure audience ambivalence, Julianne resorts to some pretty nasty tricks to win Michael back. In the end, Julianne presumably mends her friendship with Michael but still has steadfast George (who is her de facto best friend). Am I the only fan of this film who sees it as sexist commentary??? Nevertheless, I find the irony as irresistible as some of you find Kimmy. ![]() Runaway Bride (Widescreen Edition) $29.99 I like this movie, but it is not something I want to own. While it is funny to watch on tv, it is rather dull and lackluster. I like Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, but this movie offers nothing new and I don't care if you are Richard Gere, if a girl keeps running away from you, she doesn't want you. |
