After nipping down to Blockbuster to check out the behemoth sale they had on DVDs, i seemed to have picked up a few classic DVDs of films i remember watching when i was younger.
After watching Romancing The Stone again now i am older, i can see why i enjoyed the film so much when i was younger. The sense of adventure as the two characters travel across columbia is well conveyed, and the tongue in cheek script is easy to follow. Michael Douglas cracks some pretty corny jokes but carries off his character successfully as the cool mercenary Jack Colton and Kathleen Turner pulls off the performance of romantic novelist Joan Wilder superbly, her transformation from a lonely "geek" to the battle hardened woman we see at the end of the film is remarkable! The two seem to have a chemistry that looks natural and just works! The whole film is rather predictable and cheesy but still very enjoyable due to some classical action sequences and a brilliant soundtrack, the main riff makes me smile every-time i hear it. Overall an easy and enjoyable viewing experience!
