Basic Instinct 2
I had heard bad reviews about this movie but I rented it anyway. There was nothing else that I wanted to see and that we hadn’t seen before.
The story is the same. Catherine Trammel (Sharon Stone) is the same old writer of psycho-killer books that she was in the first movie. We’re wondering, “where the heck is Michael Douglas?” (remember she hooked up with him at the end of the first movie) and it addresses him with some memory but no whole story about what happened to him.
This time the person enticed by Cat (may I call you Cat?) is a psychiatrist who has agreed to treat her, after he gave testimony about her on a murder charge, which she, of course, got off on.
For some reason, and there’s no build-up to the guy becoming obsessed with her but, all of a sudden, he’s obsessed with her. I don’t know if it’s the bad acting or the really bad lines in the movie, but you find yourself wondering why he’s following her; it just doesn’t make any sense.
It’s twisty and you don’t know whether the cop is a bad guy, whether good ol’ Cat is the bad guy and, just to find out who’s who, you don’t turn off the movie.
The best part, and I’m not being sarcastic, was the ending. Why, you ask? Because towards the end the newest twist is that the psychiatrist is actually the killer. Ooops, my bad, spoiler without notice. Well, it doesn’t matter that I told you because you’ll want to save your money anyway. 3 minutes of “hmmm, I never thought that he was the killer”, doesn’t make up for a really, really, long, boring, too many gratuitous sex scenes (bad tit job Sharon) bunch of crap.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
I knew it was a bad idea in the first place.
