HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS (Comcast Movies: All Movies) A girl tries to get a guy to dump her; what she doesn’t know is that he’s been dared to get her to fall in love with him. It’s a relief to see Kate Hudson arouse something in Matthew McConaughey that we can safely call sexual. (PG-13; runs through Nov. 24) WESLEY MORRIS

BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON (Comcast Movies: All Movies) This lazy sequel picks up six weeks into Bridget’s couplehood with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), the perfect man, and already she’s trying to sabotage it all, making obsessive phone calls and fibbing her socks off. Renée Zellweger returns to the title part with a fascinating masochism; the movie she’s carrying, though, is brainless. The best part is oily Hugh Grant, who slips the movie into his back pocket. (R; runs through Nov. 24) WESLEY MORRIS

CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (Comcast Movies: All Movies) The most substantial and best constructed of 1994’s summer action thrillers. It’s helped by an entertainingly devious plot that implicates White House moles, not just a Colombian druglord. But what makes it all work is Harrison Ford’s ability to seem a vulnerable man under the gun as the guy in the white hat. (PG-13; runs through Nov. 24)
