Mill Creek Entertainment recently released the Once Around / Evening Double Feature Blu-ray. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

Once Around (1991) - Jilted by her boyfriend, Renata (Holly Hunter), the oldest daughter of a close-knit Italian American family, falls in love with Sam (Richard Dreyfuss), an abrasive and forcefully charming businessman. But neither her spirited sister (Laura San Giacomo), her down-to-earth father (Danny Aiello), or her supportive mother (Gena Rowlands) can tolerate Sam's often obnoxious intrusion into their family circle. Aggressive and overwhelmingly generous, Sam proceeds - with only the best intentions - to disrupt and nearly demolish Renata's family.

Evening (2007) - Ann (Vanessa Redgrave) reflects on one beautiful and life-changing weekend with the one true love of her life, her daughters (Toni Collette and Natasha Richardson) come to their own understanding about the power of the past and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters, family, and the loves of their lives.

[ NOTES ]

Once Around / Evening is available on Blu-ray. If you enjoy romance films, this is a recommended release, but it would have been nice if Mill Creek included the extras for Evening from the old Universal DVD: Deleted Scenes (5:00), "One Weekend By the Sea: Remembering Evening" (16:13), and "Adapting Evening" (9:36).
