Sliver

Carly Norris (Sharon Stone), a demure divorcee and book editor, moves in to New York City's tall, elegant Sliver building. Unbeknownst to Carly, though, fatal mysteries enshroud her new accommodations. Soon the centre of attention, Carly is befriended by Gus Hale (Keene Curtis), left gifts by a secret admirer, and pursued by two handsome men Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin) and Jack Lansford (Tom Berenger). However, someone is using a very sophisticated surveillance system to watch the intimate lives of these tenants including Carly. SLIVER is based on a novel by Ira Levin (ROSEMARY'S BABY), although the script shares striking similarities with writer Joe Eszterhas's earlier BASIC INSTINCT screenplay. Phillip Noyce directs efficiently, and Polly Walker is striking as a Londoner out of her element in the coke-addled world of upscale Manhattan.

  Not Basic Instinct!
  
  I think this came out soon after Basic Instinct, so it invites comparisons. Never mind the scandal aroused by the sex scenes in BI, it was actually a good film... read more »

  Slaver ;-)
  
  This film delivers exactly what you expect. A decent thriller with plenty of titillating sex scenes but little gratuitous violence compared to what I guess a ... read more »

Catch a Fire
- 20 Mar 2007
Originally known as 'Hotstuff' but changed to avoid unwarranted blaxploitation/disco era connotations, Catch A Fire is further proof that Africa has become fashionable continent for Western liberal filmmakers. Not that you could accuse screenwriter Shawn Slovo of following a trend. Born and bred in South Africa, where her father Joe was leader of the Communist Party and a prominent ANC activist, she wrote A World Apart back in 1988, while Nelson Mandela was still in prison on Robben Island....
