Actors : Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods, Kevin Pollak

Robert DeNiro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled an empire.

Diabolique 1996

Diabolique

Actors : Sharon Stone, Isabelle Adjani, Chazz Palminteri, Kathy Bates, Spalding Gray

Two women one plan. We'll poison the creep who treats us like dirt they agree. We'll dump the body in a murky pool and someone will find a surprise at the bottom. There's a surprise all right. When the pool is drained and cleaned no body is found. Sharon Stone and Isabelle Adjani pour on the femme and the fatale in a diabolical grabber of a suspense thriller directed by Jeremiah Chechik (Benny and Joon) and based in part on the classic 1955 French spellbinder Les Diaboliques. Will the women get away with bloody murder? Has someone removed the body of the victim (Chazz Palminteri) and begun playing mind games with them? Add to the mix a tough cookie of a detective (Kathy Bates) and you've got theingredients for "a nail-biter from the first scene to the last" (Bob Polunsky KENS-TV/San Antonio).

The Quick and the Dead 1995

 

The Quick and the Dead

Actors : Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo Di Caprio, Roberts Blossom

In this edgy and darkly humorous Western, a mysterious young woman rides into the lawless town of Redemption to settle an old score that has haunted her since she was a child. She becomes swept up in a deadly quick-draw tournament and, in order to win her revenge, must compete in a contest in which gunslingers from all over put their lives on the line for fame and fortune. 

The Specialist 1994

 

The Specialist

Actors : Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, James Woods, Rod Steiger, Eric Roberts

Just awful enough to qualify as someone's guilty pleasure, this convoluted thriller was supposed to cash in on the supposedly sexy teaming of Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone (then hot from her ample exposure in Basic Instinct), but their naked groping in a shower provides one of the film's unintentionally funny highlights. Ray Quick (Stallone) is a former CIA bomb expert whose former colleague (James Woods) is now in cahoots with a Miami drug cartel led by kingpin Joe Leon (Rod Steiger), who chews the scenery while his son Tomas (Eric Roberts) proceeds with a greedy hidden agenda. May Munro (Stone) hires Quick to kill off Roberts. The Specialist, featuring lots of explosions and redeemed by a dandy role for James Woods, is best suited for ardent Stallone and Stone fans. --Jeff Shannon
