Sleeping With the Enemy: This 1991 thriller by Joseph Ruben (True Believer) works up to a point: Julia Roberts plays an abused wife who fakes her death and starts anew under a different identity in Iowa. Her psychopathic husband (Patrick Bergin) figures it out and stalks her and her new boyfriend (Kevin Anderson). The best part of the film is the moody isolation of Roberts's life with Bergin. Ruben ingeniously stakes out the story by presenting what looks like an ideal life between the two--a nice house on the ocean, a seemingly healthy sex life, etc.--and then, whammo! Vital to the plot but less interesting is everything afterward, but that's less an inherent script problem than it is obvious studio pressure to push Roberts as a cute star. There's even a sequence where the actress tries on a series of hats while Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl' plays on the soundtrack. Such insistent valentines to Roberts destroys most of Ruben's momentum and the film's credibility, and the project never quite recovers. --Tom Keogh
Dying Young: With little money, a poor education and no luck when it comes to love, Hilary O'Neil (Roberts) answers a want ad and finds her whole world suddenly changed. Hired as the caretaker to a seriously ill young man (Scott), she unexpectedly discovers they have much in common, even though he is wealthy and intelligent. Their growing friendship quietly develops into a deep and powerful romance that ultimately tests the boundaries of true love.

Rating:  - sleeping with a friend
I saw this movie years ago and still think it to be one of Robert's best. It is essentially a noir toned movie, eerie to think that someone could marry such a wicked man, that someone actually fell in love with someone evil. He's a man (her husband) who beats her and is cruel and domineering. Somewhat like the men Robert's has been know to have married and had affairs with, except now she's mastered the art of finding a good man?
She fakes her own death, as death is always lurking ... Read More
Rating:  - sleeping with enemy and dying young
Julia Roberts you have out done yourself i watch every movie that is put out with you in and you a superior actress and I love you, the way you put your heart into every role you play these moives where excellent and upon my top ten list
Rating: - Sleeping With the Enemy/Dying Young
Sleeping With the Enemy is a pretty good movie about an abused wife (Roberts) and her journey out of her marriage. It has some level of suspense to it. Dying Young, which I had never heard of before ordering this duo, was actually not bad. A young man hires a caregiver (Roberts), and a relationship ensues. It's not edge of your seat excitement, but I found it to be pretty good. I rate Sleeping With the Enemy with a 4, and Dying Young with a 3.
