	The Accidental Tourist (1988)
		The Accidental Tourist DVD offers viewers many of the standard extras: deleted scenes (13 of them!), the film's theatrical trailer, and "It's Like Life," a segment featuring film clips and interviews with Davis, Turner, and the film's writer-director Lawrence Kasdan.
		Whenever the ingratiating Davis is onscreen, The Accidental Tourist springs to vibrant life; she injects a welcome blast of personality into this emotionally muted film, which is far too low-key for its own good.
		In 1988, the New York Film Critics Circle named The Accidental Tourist the year's Best Picture.

	The Accidental Tourist
		"The Accidental Tourist" won the 1988 New York Film Critics Award for Best Film.
		It is based on the critically acclaimed novel "The Accidental Tourist" by Anne Tyler.
		This is a rich film which depicts beautifully the paradox of comedy in the midst of tragedy, a bittersweet story of an introverted, grieving man who learns to love again after meeting an unconventional woman.

	Filmtracks: The Accidental Tourist (John Williams)
		The Accidental Tourist certainly dwells in the lengthy scenes of Hurt's character's loneliness, and much of John Williams' score for the film mirrors that introverted reflection.
		The Accidental Tourist: (John Williams) A film about both depression and laughter, The Accidental Tourist reunited director Lawrence Kasdan with actors William Hurt and Kathleen Turner.
		The printing run of The Accidental Tourist by Warner was not very long, and the album has fallen badly out of print and become a high collectible for Williams fans.

	Gamerz-Edge Accidental Tourist Review
		More than 15 years after original release, The Accidental Tourist is still worth the trip to the DVD store.
		Don't be too disappointed that The Accidental Tourist is presented with Dolby Digital 2.0 sound.
		No, this is not simply a "chick flick." Just because there are emotions involved doesn't mean male viewers can't enjoy this film and even learn some life lessons.

	WALTER PHILLIPS GALLERY - Roy Kiyooka: Accidental Tourist
		Accidental Tourist includes soundscapes, film and video works as well as slide installations and sequential photographic works — pivotal pieces in the development of, and experimentation with, a multi-disciplinary practice.
		Accidental Tourist proposes Kiyooka as a tourist and explorer, displaced both in Canada as a child of Japanese immigrants, and a family interned during WWII and yet an outsider in Japan, the homeland of his parents.
		The Walter Phillips Gallery is proud to present this work and is indebted to Kiyooka’s daughter Fumiko Kiyooka and Vancouver gallerist Catriona Jeffries for their support of this project; and to the MacKenzie Art Gallery and Vancouver Art Gallery for the generous loan of work from their collections.

	The Accidental Tourist (1988)
		The Accidental Tourist appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		The Dolby Surround 2.0 soundtrack of The Accidental Tourist seemed similarly unremarkable but suitable for the project.
		That theme sits at the heart of 1988’s The Accidental Tourist.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Accidental Tourist
		Warners' DVD of The Accidental Tourist is a pleasure, a special film with a quality transfer that allows it to make its full emotional impact.
		For those of us who don't lead hard-charging lives, The Accidental Tourist is a unique portrait of sensations that don't show up in normal movies, the entertainments that make action heroes of accountants and clerks.

	dOc DVD Review: The Accidental Tourist (1988)
		Many people watch motion pictures much like an accidental tourist would tour a foreign country, shutting off their emotions and relying on the filmmakers to determine their level of fulfillment.
		This is the theme of The Accidental Tourist, a film filled with such natural human realism that it nearly feels like watching a documentary.
		Extras Review: We begin this small collection of extras with an Introduction by Lawrence Kasdan, where the filmmaker reflects on The Accidental Tourist and its themes.

	Williams: The Accidental Tourist
		The Accidental Tourist, Williams's score for the 1989 film starring William Hurt, falls somewhere in between.
		Williams is hardly averse to overloading his scores with several barely-altered versions of the same thematic material, but The Accidental Tourist surely takes the cake, as just about every cue is very similar to one that has gone before.
		The opening cue is very sombre, with oboe and piano creating a mood that is at once gloomy; "Maconi Alone" begins in a similar vein, though the middle section of the cue marks the first presentation of the excellent main theme.

	Amazon.com: The Accidental Tourist (1988): DVD
		'The Accidental Tourist' stands out heads and tales above todays faceless comedies bogged down with mindless teen flicks and vapid 'chick flicks'.This movie had some intelligence and wittyness to it and with the exception of the wonderful movie 'Amelie' very little is being done in this vein nowadays.

	Film Music on the Web CD Reviews Feb 1999:John WILLIAMS Stepmom
		With kaleidoscopic musical effects recycled from "Always" (plus a metamorphosis from 'Follow Me' into 'Isebel's Horse and Buggy'), light comedic effects from "Sabrina," motifs lifted from "The Accidental Tourist," synthesizer elements carried from "Sleepers," a theme from an episode of "Amazing Stories," it plays like a compilation of John Williams' Dullest Hits.
		The music is subtly Ravelian impressionistic too and the entry of the guitar softly tinges the music appropriately Spanish-coloured.
		The music for this cue chugs along happily and comically but there is also an edge as we share the women's views and conflicting emotions once more.

	Film Music on the Web CD Reviews Feb 1999:John WILLIAMS Stepmom
		With kaleidoscopic musical effects recycled from "Always" (plus a metamorphosis from 'Follow Me' into 'Isebel's Horse and Buggy'), light comedic effects from "Sabrina," motifs lifted from "The Accidental Tourist," synthesizer elements carried from "Sleepers," a theme from an episode of "Amazing Stories," it plays like a compilation of John Williams' Dullest Hits.
		True that Stepmom does not have a theme that is immediately arresting and memorable; rather, this score is subtly understated with long-breathed melodies and easy-flowing impressionistic music that, nonetheless, should invidiously invade the listener's affections on repeated hearings.
		Stepmom is not top drawer John Williams but it is nevertheless treasurable.

	Biography for John Williams (I)
		E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) brought about his third Oscar, and The River (1984), Empire of the Sun (1987), The Accidental Tourist (1988), and Born on the Fourth of July (1989) added variety to the 1980s, as he returned to television with work on Amazing Stories and themes for NBC, including NBC Nightly News.
		What's more, he al most singlehandedly returned the "big" orchestral film score to favor in the late 1970s.
		Intending to retire, the composer's output became sporadic during the 1990s, particularly after the exciting Jurassic Park (1993) and the masterful, Oscar-winning Schindler's List (1993).
