success of 1996’s initial presentation, HBO
gathered another group of successful actresses for
IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK 2. Set in the same
suburban house as the original--but with different
inhabitants--this made-for-cable trilogy is a
dramatic exploration into the lives of three
separate lesbian couples in three different moments
in history. The first chapter, 1961, tells the
somber story of an aging woman (Vanessa Redgrave)
who is left facing prejudice and intolerance after
the death of her longtime companion. Unable to come
to terms with her complex situation, she is forced
to suffer alone, confused and distraught. The second

student (Michelle Williams) who falls in love with a
masculine woman (Chloe Sevigny). Unfortunately, her
feminist friends refuse to accept their union,
creating even more turmoil in the young woman’s
life. The film concludes with 2000, which tells the
story of a lesbian couple (Sharon Stone and Ellen
DeGeneres) who are searching for the perfect sperm
donor to start a family. Featuring standout

The Muse (1999)
Comedy
2 hrs. 02 min.
One fine night, Hollywood screenwriter Steven
Phillips basks in the honor of a humanitarian award,
presented to him at a black-tie dinner as his proud
wife Laura and daughters look on. One crappy morning
later, a junior studio executive is telling Steven
that he's lost his creative edge, and releases
Steven from his contract. Steven's confidence is
shaken: he wants to work, but how can he, if word is
out that he's over? Desperately seeking counsel,
Steven visits his friend, enviably successful
screenwriter Jack Warrick, at Jack's Bel Air estate.
Jack confides to Steven that he himself was inspired
to his ongoing success. Not by a muse, but by a
Muse. Steven is incredulous as Jack tells him of
Sarah, one of the nine daughters (The Muses) of the
god Zeus (of Greek mythology fame). Steven is soon
consumed by the prospect of becoming one of Sarah's
clients. As a favor, Jack agrees to set up a meeting
between Sarah and Steven. The meeting, held in a
guest house where Sarah is staying, gets off to a
shaky start, but Sarah soon puts Steven at ease. In
her capacity as Muse, Sarah explains, she does not
do any actual work herself, but helps filmmakers get
in touch with their own inner creativity. Sarah
agrees to take Steven on as a client, but not before
detailing her needs: food, lodging, car and driver,
24-hour access to Steven by phone, etc. Perks
notwithstanding, Steven, impatient to get inspired,
eagerly closes the deal. Closer to home, despite her
misgivings, Laura accepts Sarah into the Phillips
household. As Steven's wife and Muse become fast
friends, he realizes that their lives and work will
never be the same again.

Fiction/Fantasy When psychologist Norman Goodman (Dustin
Hoffman) wrote a report for the government on how to
deal with extraterrestrial life forces, he didn’t
expect his recommendations to be used. Now that a
secret government agency is investigating what may
be an alien spaceship that has been discovered
partially buried on the floor of the Pacific Ocean,
Norman finds that the plan he outlined is being put
into effect and that the team he named in his report
has been assembled. In addition to Norman, there is
Harry Adams (Samuel L. Jackson), a mathematician;
Ted Fielding (Liev Schreiber), a physicist; and Beth
Halperin (Sharon Stone), a biochemist and Norman’s
old flame. Led by the secretive Barnes (Peter
Coyote), the foursome undergoes a crash course in
diving and living under the sea in a naval habitat
and begins investigating the mysterious vessel,
discovering a huge glowing sphere made of an
unidentifiable substance with a shimmering, almost
liquidlike surface. As the investigation continues,
a series of strange, horrific events leads the team
of scientists to doubt each other’s sanity and
motives. The film is based on the best-selling novel
by Michael Crichton.

Last Dance (1996)
Drama Director Bruce Beresford's LAST DANCE stars
Sharon Stone as Cindy Liggett, a lower-class
Southern woman who has spent the previous 12 years
on death row for killing two of her teenaged
classmates. Her legal appeals seem to have run their
course, and the judge who is charged with reviewing
her case has never pardoned a murderer. However,
Rick Hayes (Rob Morrow), the lawyer appointed by the
clemency board, begins to examine the records of her
original trial and believes there's evidence for a
stay of execution. The prospect of spending her
remaining years in prison does not appeal to the
disillusioned Cindy, though, and she's indifferent
to Hayes and resigned to her death. Hayes, motivated
both by a personal interest in Liggett, as well as a
desire to prove himself to his contemptuous,
politically connected brother (Peter Gallagher),
refuses to accept her passivity and gradually
persuades her to fight for her life.
Casino (1995)
Drama and
Crime/Gangster Martin Scorsese, one of America's most
influential filmmakers, returns to the world of
mobsters, greed, and excess that he explored so
compellingly in 1990’s GOODFELLAS. Set in the
1970s and reveling in the minute details of how Las
Vegas casinos operate, the film chronicles the rise
and fall of casino manager Ace Rothstein (Robert De
Niro). As the king of his domain, Ace efficiently
runs the business and regularly sends lots of cold
cash to his bosses. Helping him keep the casino's
employees and customers honest is his best friend,
Nicky (Joe Pesci), a violent sociopath. Although Ace
aims to run a relatively respectable casino, the
volatile Nicky wants to take over the entire
gambling mecca, and when Ginger McKenna (Sharon
Stone), a seasoned Vegas hustler, enters the
picture, Ace and Nicky's friendship is complicated
even further. As drugs and alcohol become a bigger
part of Ginger's life, all three are eventually
brought down by their own greed and blind ambition.
CASINO shares many similarities with GOODFELLAS,
beginning with a script that was cowritten by
Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi. Regulars De Niro and
Pesci are first rate once again as the dissimilar
companions, but it is Stone who steals the show with
her grueling, intense performance.
Intersection (1994)
Drama A remake of the French film LES CHOSES DE LA
VIE, INTERSECTION places Vincent Eastman (Richard
Gere), a successful architect, between his
indifferent, beautiful, aristocratic wife, Sally
(Sharon Stone), and his free-spirited lover, Olivia
(Lolita Davidovich). Although it seems that Vincent
has made a decision to leave Sally for Olivia, he
remains emotionally torn, especially when he wonders
how a divorce might affect his 12-year-old daughter,
Meaghan (Jenny Morrison), with whom he is very
close. If Vincent doesn't make a decision soon, he
might find himself at a crossroads where he will be
forced to make a choice and suffer the cataclysmic
consequences. Using flashbacks and, in one climactic
scene, beautifully eerie slow-motion camerawork,
director Mark Rydell's INTERSECTION brings back the
heartwrenching feeling and intricacies of old
Hollywood melodramas.
The Quick and the Dead (1994)
Western Sharon Stone stars as Ellen, a beautiful
gunslinger with a cloudy past. She arrives in the
town of Redemption with a bone to pick, namely with
one John Herod (Gene Hackman, BONNIE AND CLYDE, THE
ROYAL TENNENBAUMS), with whom she shares a shady
history. Ellen signs up for the annual quick-draw
contest, which awards $230,000 to the winner, but
her real motivation is revenge. Raimi incorporates
beautiful photography and camerawork, and surprising
new twists to the familiar spaghetti Western tropes,
breathing new life into the genre.
The Specialist (1994)
Drama A Miami woman whose family has been
"erased" by a nefarious crime lord hires
an ex-CIA explosives expert to gain revenge. His job
is made more difficult when he falls for his
beautiful client, and when his target hires his
equally skilled ex-partner in this tense
action-drama.
Tears in the Rain (1994)
Drama Casey Cantrell (Stone) is on her way to London
to deliver her mother's death-bed letter to Lord
Bredon. She finds herself being pursued by two
wealthy men, who delve deep into her past and come
up with a shocking discovery.
Last Action Hero (1993)
Science
Fiction/Fantasy Arnold Schwarzenegger and director John
McTiernan join forces again in, THE LAST ACTION
HERO, a heart racing thriller in which a young boy
uses a magical ticket to infiltrate his favorite
movie. Danny (Austin O’Brien) passes through the
movie screen and into the whirlwind life of crusader
Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger) becoming his
sidekick. But when the villains learn that they too
can travel back and forth between cinema and
reality, it’s up to Jack Slater to put a stop
their havoc wreaking.
Once a character in the "Jack Slater 4"
film, Danny takes on the role of Slater’s
sidekick, and together they combat Vivaldi (Anthony
Quinn), Benedict (Charles Dance), and The Ripper
(Tom Noonan), an infamous troika bent on global
malice. Trouble really however, when Benedict gets a
hold of Danny’s magic ticket, and travels to the
real world laying waste to Times Square. Jack Slater
leaves his cinematic bubble and follows the villain
into reality--a reality where heroes don't always
win.
Like a prophet armed with fire, director John
McTiernan uses explosive action and booming special
effects to foretell of a time when hyper reality
will be achieved with the ease of buying a ticket to
a movie.
Sliver (1993)
Drama Carly Norris (Sharon Stone), a demure divorcיe
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 center 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.
Where Sleeping Dogs Lie (1993)
Drama Bruce Simmons (Dylan McDermott), a double whammy
failure in both writing and real estate, is booted
out of his apartment and sets up camp in an unsold
mansion which houses a secret to a family slaughter.
Simmons' imagination begins to run wild, conflating
the fantasy of the murder -- of re-enacting the
murder in writing -- with reality. He is soon unable
to discern the two worlds, as the two worlds
themselves enmesh into psychoses and terror.
Basic Instinct (1992)
Drama
123 min.
This steamy thriller to end all steamy thrillers
stars Michael Douglas as Nick, a boozy San Francisco
police detective who finds himself drawn to the
prime suspect in a murder case--manipulative,
sexually uninhibited novelist Catherine Trammell
(Sharon Stone). Catherine's latest book features a
murder uncannily similar to the one Nick is
investigating, and as the pair engage in a mating
dance of dangerous one-upmanship, more murders
occur, all described in her current work, about a
boozy cop in love with a killer. Nick's psychiatrist
(Jeanne Tripplehorn), and cop partner (George
Dzundza) are both worried about him, and
Catherine’s jealous lesbian lover (Leilani Sarelle)
may be trying to kill him, but Nick is just too
turned on to care.
Director Paul Verhoeven shows an admirable lack of
restraint in this ludicrously enjoyable thriller, a
sort of postmodern noir with Joe Eszterhas’s
script coming off like Mamet by way of Penthouse.
Stone and Douglas exhibit fine chemistry (and most
of their bodies), and there's some lovely Bay Area
scenery courtesy of cinematographer Jan de Bont (who
went on to direct films such as SPEED and TWISTER).
Wayne Knight (Newman from SEINFELD) and Mitch
Pileggi (Skinner from THE X-FILES) are precinct
heads who question Catherine in the infamous
leg-crossing scene.
Diary of a Hitman (1992)
Drama and
Crime/Gangster On the eve of his retirement, a hitman is
offered a small fortune to kill a man's
drug-addicted wife and crack-addicted baby. He

girl, increasingly agoraphobic, lost in hopeless
expectations.
He Said, She Said (1991)
Comedy Anti-intellectual skirt-chasing journalist Dan
Hanson (Kevin Bacon) and his sensitive, liberal,
erudite colleague Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins)
find themselves fighting for the same column at the
Baltimore Sun. They become a hit when the editors
decide to run their columns side-by-side allowing
readers to enjoy their opposing viewpoints on the
issues. When their column is adapted into a
television program, "He Said, She Said,"
their success leads to their romance--but when they
have an on-air argument, both Dan and Lorie get a
chance to explain their side of the story. Ken
Kwapis directs the "He Said" portion of
the argument, while Marisa Silver handles the
"She Said" perspective.
Scissors (1991)
Drama An emotionally fragile young woman endures a
dreadful assault in her apartment, stabbing the
assailant with a pair of scissors. Though a handsome
neighbor and her respected psychologist try to help
her, someone continues to terrorize her.
Year of the Gun (1991)
Action/Adventure Andrew McCarthy stars as freelance journalist
David Raybourne in John Frankenheimer's adaptation
of Michael Mewshaw's novel. The film is set in 1978
Rome, the time of the terroristic Red Brigade, and
David is in the midst of writing a novel involving
terrorist characters. He meets a number of
journalists and photographers through his connection
to the city's English-language newspaper, among them
Lisa Spinelli (Valeria Golino), a journalist with
inherited wealth, and Alison King (Sharon Stone), a
well-known photographer. He falls in love with Lisa,
slowly becoming aware that she may be involved with
the terrorists. Seemingly by accident, his novel
falls into the hands of the Red Brigade, and its
plot, which revolves around the assassination of an
Aldo Moro-like figure, bears an eerie similarity to
the group's plans for the Italian prime minister.
Since he has humorously named many of the characters
after his local friends, his book may create
problems for them. However, no one, least of all the
Red Brigade, seems to believe his claims of
ignorance and innocence. YEAR OF THE GUN is an
interesting stab at a Hitchcockian wrong-man
thriller, with Sharon Stone and Valeria Golino fun
to watch as they chase around the beautifully
photographed Rome locations.

the invitation of a prominent critic, Bates travels
to the Stardust Hotel in upstate New York in order
to attend a retreat put together to honor his
achievements as a filmmaker. What he encounters
there is a circus-like atmosphere comprising
cloyingly devoted fans, as grotesque as they are
obsequious, all professing their unconditional love
for Sandy while at the same time wondering aloud why
"he don't make 'em like he used to." The
crushed director finds a grim sort of solace in his
affairs with three wildly different women. As the
weekend ends, Bates finds himself bathed in the
greasy light of self-recognition and haltingly
discovers that he may be more repulsive than any of
the adoring fans he so loathes.
