Basic Instinct 2 (DVD)

...author who writes about the basic instincts (love, sex, violence). She's a strong, independent woman, yes - but she's also narcissistic, devious, manipulative, sexual in unseemly and aggressive fashion and perhaps, even murderous. I couldn't help thinking that Catherine Tramell was the latest subliminal put-down of the idea of a powerful female (by weak-willed males personified by Dr Glass?). It's a critique that harks back to that evil First Female, ...
...Adam finally partook of the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. (So, is wanting more knowledge a satanic desire, then? But I digress.) Much has also been made of Sharon Stone's decision to play the vampy seductress once again - * at her age! * - oh, my! Well, yeah, I say that she's certainly free to flaunt it if she's got it. At 47, Ms Stone looks a whole lot trimmer, sexier and more poised than many women ten, twenty years her junior (with possibly ...

Review of Basic Instinct 2 (DVD)

Catherine Tramell is back! This time the sex-crazed killer is implicated in her footballer husband's death. A staid British psychiatrist is brought in to unravel her secrets, but he soon begins to fall under her spell. British director Michael Caton-Jones must be hard up for work if this is what he's making. It feels like career suicide just watching it. He's clearly from the school of obvious film-making, if this cut-and-paste job is anything to ...
...any facet of it. London is shot mainly at night, swathed in neon blues, in an attempt to make it sexy. Everyone in the movie appears to be rich and playful if the number of big houses, apartments and cocktail parties are anything to go by. Catherine's risk addiction is embodied solely by her chain-smoking and sexual activity is always signposted by the hackneyed open fire or jacuzzi motifs. You can tell the director is hoping to use the film as a ...

Review of Basic Instinct 2 (DVD)

...when you are talking about Basic Instinct it has to be Sex, Sleaze and of course the "Fuck of the Century…". The other day, I and Sharon where sharing a table in one of the hottest Hollywood hangout place and we were not discussing about the movie Basic Instinct, we were discussing the actual basic instinct. The lady was dressed in her best, a Red skirt with a sliding cleavage display and of course it was one of those dress, guys want to make love ...
...was tempted asking her about Basic Instinct - Risk addiction and was about to ask her , she could see that in my eyes that it was more then the Risk Addiction, it was lust. Asyis, "does Lust form as a part of Risk Addiction and don't you feel being laid so hard that your mind doesn't think of anything but the lady. For a moment didn't knew what to say just was amazed at the women's sixth sense, how did she know that I wanted to know more about the ...

Review of Basic Instinct 2 (DVD)

Basic Instinct 2 has been a film that I have been waiting to see since the first film came out; however it was very disappointing that it didn’t carry on from the first film. However the film does continue about the life of the novelist Catherine Trammell played remarkably by Sharon Stone. This film has a brilliant opening, as it starts of with Catherine speeding through the streets of London using the hand of her boyfriend to play with herself. ...
...doesn’t compare to the first Basic Instinct. The casting was good choices, as Sharon Stone plays this character to perfection, and really leaves the audience to believe something that may not be true. However I would change the casting of Michael Glass, even through David Morrissey is a good actor I didn’t feel that he was right for the part. The director wasn’t the best choice for the film, he has directed some unmemorable films like City by the ...
