Romancing the Stone

Day 59 - 2/28/09 - Movie #57

BEFORE: We went to the Empire Casino this weekend, up at Yonkers Raceway. It was fun, but it puts me short on movie-time again. I'm still barely starting the movie before the day ends - I'll have to find a way to get back on track.

THE PLOT: A romance writer sets off to Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure.

AFTER: This was one of those "Raiders of the Lost Ark" knock-offs - so that means I've been putting off watching this movie since the mid-80's! I don't know why, since Kathleen Turner was so hot, and spends most of the film in a soaking-wet dress...
The plot is twisty, but it's mostly "Who's got the map?" and "Who's got the jewel?" - not really highbrow.

RATING: 7 out of 10 alligators (that's 5 for being 1/2 as good as "Raiders" and 2 points for the wet dress)
