Political 'Colors' hits video stores today

Now that "Titanic" is settling into the home video market, movie fans can turn their attention to these upcoming video releases that don't star Leo.

"Primary Colors," starring John Travolta as Jack Stanton, is the political comedy about President Clinton's 1992 political campaign. Others in the ensemble cast include Emma Thompson, Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates, Larry Hagman and Adrian Lester. The film, directed by Mike Nichols, is especially entertaining in light of recent admissions. Lots of laughs, but no Lewinsky.

"Wild Things" is the story of two sex-crazed teens from Florida trying to get busy and get even with Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon. The girls, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards, get wet and wild with each other and anyone else they can get into the pool. Fans of Kevin Bacon will be pleased to know that the actor's full-frontal scene made the film's final cut.

Courtesy of Mandalay Entertainment "Wild Things," starring Kevin Bacon and Denise Richards, comes out on video beginning today.

Other worthwhile films released on video during the summer which may have been overlooked during the wait for "Titanic's" docking at your local video store include "Afterglow," "Zero Effect," "Dark City," "Great Expectations," "House of Yes" and "Four Days In September."

Let us not forget the sinking ship whose voyage to video poised to become the biggest event of 20th Century. With swarms of Leo lovers snapping up copies like issues of Teen Boy Magazine, the flick should sail off shelves well into the next millennium.
