DVD. Feature film. Rated PG13. 112 min. DTS. Stars Meryl S treep, Kevin Bacon, more. Letterboxed. Dolby Surround. Subt itled in Japanese. CC. Parental lock. In this tense action thriller, a couple take their son on a white-water rafting trip in hopes that they can patch up their troubled marriage. While on the trip, the family is hijacked by a pair of criminals who need the wife's rafting expertise to get them down the river.
In THE RIVER WILD, Gail (Meryl Streep), a former river guide, plans a white-water rafting trip to celebrate her son Roarke's (Joseph Mazzello) birthday and patch up her troubled marriage to her workaholic husband, Tom (David Strathairn). As the family begins their river adventure, they meet Wade (Kevin Bacon), a novice rafter with a magnetic personality. When the family finds Wade and his friend, Terry (John C. Reilly), stranded and abandoned by their guide, Gail and Tom decide to help them navigate the rapids. However, family fun turns to terror when Wade and Terry show their true colors--they're really criminals trying to evade the police following a major heist. To make matters worse, their escape route requires that they run the Gauntlet, deadly rapids where three rivers converge in violently tumultuous waters. This taut thriller from director Curtis Hanson (BAD INFLUENCE, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) features Streep in her first role as an action-adventure heroine, while Bacon is truly menacing as the psychotic Wade, a desperate criminal in over his head.
Theatrical release date: September 1994.
Filmed in Montana, Oregon, and Massachusetts.
The MCA/Universal video release included a 90-second public service announcement about protecting America's rivers.
River Wild Reviews: "...[Bacon] makes a fine counterpoint to [Streep]..." - Recommended
-- Josh Rottenberg, Premiere "...A pulse-pounding thrill ride....Streep is strong, sassy and looser than she has ever been onscreen..."
-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...[Hanson] has the makings of a lean, mean thriller....[Streep] captures both Gail's terror and her exhilaration..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...Awe-inspiring white water thrills..." -- Rating: B
-- Glenn Kenny, Entertainment Weekly "...THE RIVER WILD takes your breath away two times over....Streep has taken this opportunity to once again rewrite the rules..."

What can one say about Ozzy, really? What rock fan doesn't adore him (even if it's only in a fascinated, ironic sort of way)? With his distinct voice that seems to have been made for hard rock singing, his bizarre on stage antics (eating a bat being just one of them) and his oddly clueless and spacy personality, Ozzy has the kind of unique personality that all rock ...

River Wild review
$7.05
THE RULES OF ATTRACTION, based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis, stars James Van Der Beek (DAWSON'S CREEK) as Sean Bateman, campus drug-dealer and 24-hour-a-day reveler at affluent Camden College. A senior at the New England school, Sean is caught up in a nihilistic love triangle. He has a crush on Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon), an arty virgin who is saving herself for a vapid, vacationing ex-boyfriend, while Paul (Ian Somerhalder), a beautiful bisexual, has a crush on Sean. Every night is a party at Camden, where students celebrate with a "Dress to Get Screwed" theme and teachers appear more often on the dance floor than in the classroom. Director Roger Avary conveys the individual angst of the three lovelorn main characters in a series of vignettes, using their different perspectives to weave together a complex tale of misunderstanding, drug binges, alienated sex and violence, and above all, extreme loneliness. Equal parts fantasy and reality, THE RULES OF ATTRACTION, like other Ellis adaptations LESS THAN ZERO and AMERICAN PSYCHO, ...
