I'm reviewing a shit-on-a-stick movie for my first blog entry in the hope that things can only go uphill from here.

Basic Instinct 2
Grade: D+

If your instincts are telling you to see this sequel for cheap thrills, do yourself a favor and ignore them. Sure, there are some unintentionally hilarious moments involving 110 mile per hour car sex and a wet and wild Jacuzzi brawl. For the most part, though, it’s a tedious and convoluted mess that’s bound to sweep this year’s Razzie Awards. Despite some nude scenes and belabored attempts to ooze sex appeal, Sharon Stone fails to titillate as novelist and suspected murderess Catherine Tramell. But she looks like Meryl Streep compared to British actor David Morrissey, who has no charisma whatsoever in the pivotal role of Catherine’s psychiatrist.
