Two Moon Junction
Zalman King's 1988 drama, Two Moon Junction, is a real
head-scratcher: we've always thought that romantic movies should
present a couple worth cheering for... individuals we actually want
to see together at the end of the story. Well, give King and his
actors, Sherilyn Fenn and Richard Tyson, credit for trying something
different: Two Moon Junction features a couple of characters
who deserve to have their faces slapped -- repeatedly -- for the
immature, irresponsible way in which they fall into each other's
beds on the eve of Fenn's marriage. The story becomes a
manic-depressive version of The Bridges of Madison County
as we witness many tender scenes of the pair alternately having
sex then fighting, over and over and over. For some reason, we're
supposed to care about their plight, but be warned: we got far
more enjoyment from Herve "Tattoo" Villechaize's profanity-laden
cameo than everything else in this movie combined. The disc's
supplemental features are just as barren as the film itself: the
only goodie is the presence of both widescreen and full-frame
versions on the same DVD. There's nothing else, not even a trailer.
It comes in a keep case -- but why would you want to?
