VIDEO RENTALS : ‘Talking’ Takes Over No. 1

“Look Who’s Talking,” which took over the top spot on the Billboard magazine chart, looms as the most popular rental in the next month. But it may get a substantial challenge from “Sea of Love,” which zoomed to No. 4 in just two weeks. Hot debuts: “sex, lies and videotape” (No. 14) and “Next of Kin” (No. 15). “Johnny Handsome,” the tawdry drama starring Mickey Rourke, was stuck in the 20s on the rental chart, but suddenly jumped to No. 11. The media attention Rourke has been getting for his new film, “Wild Orchid,” may have something to do with the sudden popularity of “Handsome.”

* This cop thriller, set mostly in Japan--and starring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia--grossed $45 million at the box-office. After debuting at No. 12 last week, it jumped to No. 6 and should easily make the Top Five.
