Basic Instinct

There was a time when Michael Douglas and sex thrillers went together like ice and picks, but Paul Verhoeven's steamy whodunnit belongs to Sharon Stone. She's an ultra-wealthy, often-naked, mystery novelist in Basic Instinct, a dangerous combination of beauty and brains. She also just might have a thirst for committing bloody murder. Still, we had sympathy for what might be the devil because when a character is this much better than all the dupes around her, sometimes you just have to put all your chips on evil. So don't be a detective who doesn't think to take DNA samples or fingerprints...or even see what's right in front of him. Just insert the 467th Ellises' Analysis into the appropriate holes in your body (that's your ears, weirdo) as we try to piece together Basic Instinct.

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
