Query: Sharon Stone. Often semi-clothed. Enough said...

Ah, the power of sex, and sexual images and thoughts, tawdry or otherwise. For some reason, I respond to seeing SS on the SS (silver screen) no matter how bad the script. I even liked her in "Casino" and "Basic Instinct 2". Of course, "Basic Instinct" is the Grail of SS movies. This one has many flaws, but it was never intended to be a Turner Classic Movie. As mere entertainment which offers a break from the often heart-breaking daily news, "Sliver" is not as bad as the critics said.
