Basic Instinct2 'The Stinker'I saw this movie:

Ohhhh Sharon Sharon Sharon Sharon Sharon!

What has thou done? The very same movie that kicked off her career 14 years ago in 1992 is now poised to kill it off. Lady, the script is soooo weak & actually dark and sad. I mean, no one wants to pay dollars to go see a middle-aged woman still commiting serial murders, spreading her legs for cops or basically any law enforcer who'll take a peek! Hannibal, this ain't! Let's remember that Hannibal Lecter also continued his tyranny of killings for years but at his best remained a genius with his clothes on. He used his brain to match wits with anyone who dared to question his motives.
Now back to Sharon, I mean didn't she learn anything after appearing in the titanic that was Cat Woman? We still blame Halle Berry for that ship sinking but Sharon was half of the iceberg too! Except for Casino just about Ms. Stone's movies since 1992 haven't done so well. Ok this letter is harsh.
But what I don't understand & I think most people will agree is this kind of thriller is always hard to pull of for anyone. Remember Derailed with Jennifer Aniston & Meg Ryan in The Cut? Ouch! These kinds of movies are a hard sell even when you have much younger actors and actresses.
The other big problem, Sharon Stone forgot about the female audience.
Hello! Women almost never spend money to go to the movies to see naked actresses doing it in every scene. Kinda why Body of Evidence with Madonna and Striptease starring Demi Moore bombed! Speaking of Madonna and Demi Moore they are the only other hollywood 40 something ladies who can probably rival Stone's sex appeal.
Sharon looks damn good. She knows it and uses it profoundly to promote, sell and
even act in her movie. I won't even bother with the supporting cast.
Nothing at this point can save them after tomorrow, when the movie opens
up.
It's not the age thing for Sharon. She pulls that off very well. But with the movie slump continuing this vehicle is going to run her into the ground.
Furthermore, she has proven for years that she struggles to carry a movie.
Even Madonna has given up trying to act. And honestly I think Madonna is the better Actress. She just needs to be given the right script.

Girls, if you're curious just wait until BI2 it hits video. My guess probably next month. Oh beware, tons of nudity. If your prudish don't watch it on the big screen. Guys, if want to see the movie, also wait until video.
Why, because the script is weak and you have to wait for the nudity. And we know how you guys hate to wait. My suggestion, just watch porno. There's no script to weed through and it gets right to down to lured details.
Or what might happen is that word will spread that this BI2 is sooo bad that people will go see it just to say they did. Remember Gigli? JLo & Ben Affleck never quite recovered & they're stong actors.

The good news is JLO, Demi Moore, Madonna and Halle Berry (poor ladies) are now out of the dog house. Sharon now reigns supreme as having the worst movie of all time.

No actress should have to do this movie at any age much less 48. I think it's sad.
