  Filmtracks: Basic Instinct (Jerry Goldsmith)
Basic Instinct: (Jerry Goldsmith) Make no mistake about it, Jerry Goldsmith's ability to brilliantly capture the essence of an orgasm with the National Philharmonic Orchestra earned him his first Academy Award nomination in many years.
Basic Instinct stands alongside Body Heat as one of most sensual and alluring works of art in the history of film music.
As time has passed, Basic Instinct has proven to be even more of a fascinating and unique work in Goldsmith's career, and while the material absent from the original album is not earth-shattering, it is still as interesting as the music you've heard before.

 Filmtracks: Basic Instinct 2 (John Murphy)
Basic Instinct 2: (John Murphy) Only two things exist in common between Paul Verhoeven's entertainingly vulgar 1992 hit film and this lifeless 2006 sequel: Sharon Stone's remarkably youthful physique and Jerry Goldsmith's remarkably seductive themes.
The process of bringing Basic Instinct 2 into production saw endless delays and cast changes, and the result is a script that has none of the juicy interest of the original and a lead male star that maintains the same mundane facial expression from start to finish.
It could be argued that his task was a largely impossible one for this film, for Jerry Goldsmith's score for the original remains a triumph in the definition of "orchestral orgasms," for which he was nominated for an Academy Award.

 IGN: Basic Instinct 2 Review
Unfortunately, after this melodramatic pinnacle, Basic Instinct 2's appeal declines - steeply - not the least of which because someone got the terrible idea that everyone involved was making a serious film, not a fifteen-years-late sequel to one of the most sexually explicit mainstream American movies of all time (which I mean as a compliment).
Basic Instinct 2 defines the difference between bad and mediocre.
All of which says one more thing about my eager anticipation prior to seeing it: when you're looking forward to a piece of crap that's not even satisfying on a piece-of-crap level, at least you can take solace in the fact that the only place to go from there is up.

Basic Instinct 2 opens, as it should, with a bang — or about as close as you can get to one in a car that's going 100 miles per hour.
Glass is called on to evaluate Catherine in the wake of her car accident, which probably wasn't an accident, and he then becomes her therapist, diagnosing her with ''risk addiction.'' Putting Catherine on the couch is an amusing idea, but it also diminishes her: a sex goddess reduced to a pathology.
In Basic Instinct 2, she successfully revives her performance as Catherine, the vamp who screws and mocks at the same time, who's cold even when she's in heat, who seduces men by turning their desire against them.

 Basic Instinct 2: Unrated Extended Cut (2006)

Basic Instinct 2 appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.40:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

 Basic Instinct 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basic Instinct 2, also known as Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction is a 2006 film, being the long awaited sequel to 1992's Basic Instinct.
The film also suffered from comparison to the first Basic Instinct, which was more popular with critics.
Many considered this to fall very short of expectations, though the film did have a lot of competition with Ice Age: The Meltdown opening the same weekend, as well as films like V for Vendetta and Inside Man which were still in their first few weeks of their release.

"Basic Instinct" is hardly the first film to pull this stunt and I almost wish that some of the movies I really loved had just one "special edition" or update from its first DVD incarnation, not to mention 4 or more.
Add it all up and Basic Instinct is wildly inconsistent in terms of quality but the sheer OTT nature of plot is enough to keep it afloat.

It is so erotic and Stone and Douglas have so much sexual chemistry that when you look at an Adrian Lyne film, you see them for the crap they are.
Basic plotline has Stone's character, 'Catherine Tramell', accused of the vicious sex murder of a retired rock and roll star.

 SoundtrackNet : Basic Instinct (complete) Soundtrack
In arguably the most celebrated collaboration between Jerry Goldsmith and director Paul Verhoeven, Basic Instinct, the score sold more of the story than had been thought required for a film of this genre and fully deserved its Oscar nomination.
This expanded release of Basic Instinct brings its notoriety to the forefront once more, a great time to examine the brilliance of this music and how it molds to film itself like skin tight leather pants.
Upon reflection, it is amazing to think that the wonderful main theme had originally been an incidental tune for a transition scene when it caught the ear of Verhoeven, its tone encapsulating the thrust of the entire film.

 Basic Instinct (1992)
Basic Instinct (1992) is a suspenseful, cat-and-mouse erotic thriller with psychosexual overtones.
Its director-writer team of Paul Verhoeven (known for earlier films Robocop (1987) and Total Recall (1990) and then Showgirls (1995)) and Joe Eszterhas (known for Jagged Edge (1985)) created this exploitative, soft-porn, excessive, controversial film known for its negative portrayal of lesbianism, violence, initial X-rating, and voyeuristic, sensational, gratuitous sex.
A critically-lambasted, belated sequel by director Michael Caton-Jones, Basic Instinct 2 (2006) (originally subtitled Risk Addiction) found the now 47 year-old Sharon Stone character (ice-pick suspected murderess and novelist Catherine Tramell) living in London where she was being treated by a psychiatrist (David Morrissey) - who fell for her game of seduction.
