Week of December 10: KC and Eastwood, Sort Of Together Again (Sort Of)

By Sylvia Gurinsky

One of Kevin Costner's best film performances took place in 1993's "A Perfect World," directed by and co-starring Clint Eastwood. Alas, the two stars had just one scene together, late in the film.

No news of the two making another movie (We can always hope. :), but there is music from an Eastwood masterpiece, "Unforgiven," in "Yellowstone." More from Cinema Blend:

"Unforgiven" and "Yellowstone"

Season 1 of "Yellowstone" has just been released on DVD. "A Perfect World" is available on DVD and online.

Kevin Costner got to know President George H.W. and Barbara Bush; the Bush presidency coincided with the period of KC's career that included films from "Field of Dreams" to "The Bodyguard." Costner also interacted with the Bushes while he filmed part of "Tin Cup" in Houston. Here is a picture of KC and President Bush, as well as tennis player Andre Agassi.

"Waterworld": Now on Netflix

This week's premieres at Netflix include "Waterworld."

A movie premiere page, including a summary and trailer, is located at Waterworld on Netflix . It's also possible to access the movie on Amazon.com.

Here's a little bit from my "Kevin Costner Cinema Collection" look at the film:

"In the context of recent news headlines, it’s easy to see that “Waterworld” is a message movie.

The first message: Take care of the planet. The second message: Take care of each other.

Those two messages are all over the movie, which illustrates perfectly the full effect of global warming. The world’s still there, but it isn’t what it was - as The Mariner, played by Costner, shows Helen, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn.
