ARTS AND ENTERTAINMET

roMaNCing tHe STone

One of my all time favorite movies is Romancing The Stone, an oldie but a goodie. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s about a romance writer, Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) who sets off to Columbia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure with her sidekick Jack T Colton (Michael Douglas). Watching it almost twenty years later (has time really flown by?) you embrace the cheesiness of the genre. I love the music in eighties action adventure movies, especially in the end when the two heroes fall in love and INSERT: saxophone music. It pops up in almost every eighties action, adventure, love story. I can think of 3 off the top of my head, 1-Lethal Weapon, 2- Pretty Woman, 3-Mannequinn. More will come to me after I’ve had my morning coffee. Enjoy!
