Movie Review: Which one's going to blow up first?
Summary: 5 Stars
The a-bomb that Hank Marshall (Jones) has to inspect or his marriage to tempestuous Carly (Lange). Carly ran away from her home in Virginia because she 'wanted paradise.' When Carly's topless sunbathing gets the Marshalls busted from Hawaii to Alabama, their marriage goes on the rocks.
Carly's badly unstable. We'd call her bipolar today. Her mood swings go from effervescent highs to devastating lows that frighten the two Marshall kids.
Hank describes Carly like 'water.' Sometimes, she's flowing and sometimes she's like ice. The kids describe them 'he's blind and she's crazy.'
Matters go from bad to worse when Colonel Vincent Johnson (Boothe) gets interested in Carly and transfers Hank to Nevada bomb tests. This project "Blue Sky" is going to be an aboveground test since the Soviets have detonated a bomb aboveground and we have to stay ahead in the arms race.
You'd think it's a rotten marriage and in some ways you'd be right, but when a test goes awry and the military wants to cover it up Carly is there for Hank. Jessica Lange won an Oscar for her role in this film, but Jones deserves accolades as well for his elegant, understated role as a science-minded military man.

Movie Review: Lange and Jones are Acting Tour de Forces Here!
Summary: 5 Stars
When Jessica Lange won the Best Actress Oscar for this film, few people in the USA had even seen it. For one, its release had been held up for several years and it sat gathering dust in its film cans in the studio. Her Oscar win though finally made many scurry to the theaters to see it. Lange plays a military wife to Tommy Lee Jones' career military man. They have 2 children and have followed him from base to base. What absolutely defines Lange's character though is a combination of constant sensuality with a personality that totters on the edge of breakdown. She is hot for her husband, Jones, but she also acts like a sexual lodestar to other men. Her very presence on a military base can cause incredible unrest among the other husbands and wives. I wish Lange and Jones always had screenplays this good to devote their talents. Often, their talents are wasted on less well written and directed works. If you have overlooked this character-driven masterpiece of acting, don't overlook it any longer.Movie Review: True love tested
Summary: 5 Stars
This story brings home the conflicts, stress, emotions, and hardships of being a family in the Army. (A situation I am glad I never endured) An emotional and sexually charged wife of a career military man trying to deal with family, loneliness, and the stress of moving alot and her adoring, but career minded husband. Her sexuality and infidelity strain the marraige and he is torn between his morals and ability to do his job, and keep his family together. Emotionally riveting!!
Movie Review: Jessica's "Gem"
Summary: 5 Stars
My favorite Jessica Lange movie. She is so...sexy in this film. I personally love high-strung females like this, they are so much fun to be around! Anyway, I love everything about this film and kinda knew this was gonna be true when the film opened with one of favorite songs by Dinah Washington & Brook Benton (You've Got What It Takes). Anyone who wants to watch a well made great movie should check this out!Movie Review: Blue Sky
