Oh Shazza...you've been wined and dined but no one stayed the night. Like a cheap hooker, you didn't leave America wanting more--but we are heading to the drug store to buy some Penicillin! Sharon Stone's hotly (mostly by her) anticipated return to cinema "greatness" pretty much lied on it's back all weekend, much like the aging star herself, and was swiftly iced by the CG-trickery of Ice Age: The Meltdown. (which FYI, was also the same era as her last hit movie)

I mean, even Helen Keller could see this one coming. An aging seductress comes out of a retirement that no one was particularly sad about, to bring down all the assholes and jerks who treated her like shit and didn't give her any respect.....and makes Basic Instinct 2. From what I hear--yes that's right dear readers, I didn't pony up to see this shit, even i have standards (sort of)--the film is basically a re-hash of the original (sans crotch shot) but seems to be missing the spirit of the first, the sense of newness that it had in 1992 and the aforementioned crotch shot. Was the first movie good? Sure. A classic? Not so much. Calling for a sequel? Hell-to-the-no!

So Sharon, thanks for playing, we have some lovely consolation prizes for you (which will mostly consist of the 2007 Razzies) and Shar.....don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you--and after the first movie, we ALL know where that is!
