		I never thought I'd bother to write a commentary on a film as downright tawdry as Sliver - a film which draws its main appeal from something as ordinary as "what if - cameras were put everywhere in an apartment building - and nothing was private...
		Sliver is one of those movies that just can't be enjoyed on any level whatsoever.
		Sliver was Sharon Stone and Joe Eszterhas' follow up to their smash hit Basic Instinct.

	Sliver
		The title is a reference to New York& upscale Sliver Building from which, at the film’s outset, a striking blonde–who Just So Happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to Sharon Stone–steps out for some fresh air.
		Sliver’s best scene is an accidental encounter between Carly Norris and two unwilling and unknowing participants in her recent initiation into high-tech voyeurism.
		Stone’s nonverbal display of discomfort is about the only subtle touch in the film.

		"Aquamarine" is clearly intended for a very specific sliver of the moviegoing public: girls 10-to-13 years old, hopefully with parents who feel comfortable dropping them off at the multiplex for a matinee.
		MSN Entertainment - "Aquamarine" is clearly intended for a very specific sliver of the moviegoing public: girls 10-to-13 years old, hopefully with parents who feel comfortable dropping them off at the multiplex for a matinee.
		Synopsis: Aquamarine is the story of Claire and Hailey, two 13-year-old best friends who embark on the adventure of their lives when they discover a mermaid named Aquamarine in a swimming pool.

	Sulky Sliver
		SLIVER is a thin, flat, ribbon-like polyester film which is metallised with aluminium to make it brilliantly reflective.
		SLIVER is a brilliantly reflective 3 ply thread in 24 colours on a 250yd.
		Because SLIVER is flat it should be put on a vertical spool holder allowing the thread spool to turn while sewing.

	Sliver
		Sliver (1991) is a novel by U.S. author Ira Levin about the mysterious goings-on in a New York highrise apartment building especially after new tenant -- an attractive young woman in publishing-- has moved in.
		When she makes the acquaintance of a and friendly young man who lives in same "sliver" building she does not know first that he is the owner.
		"Sliver" is definitely not up to "Rosemary's Baby" but it's one of Levin's better products, and for those readers who felt it lacked believability, what would they say about "Rosemary's Baby" or "The Stepford Wives"...

	SurfWax: News, Reviews and Articles On Sliver
		Remove the metaphorical shoulder pads and portray Stone as a victim, in a string of turkeys such as Intersection, Sphere, Sliver, Diabolique, Gloria, Last Dance and, come to think of it, just about every film she s done in the past decade, and the audience give her the thumbs down...
		Eszterhas, for the uninitiated, is the priapic screenwriter behind Basic Instinct, Sliver and the notorious Showgirls, a movie he claims was intended for Stone (in the Gina Gershon part).
		The crop-haired 'Sliver' actress was equally radiant the following afternoon, when she announced the nominees for the Crest Style Awards.

	Theorize with me... photographing on spheres instead of flat film
		If you conceptualize the spinning panoramic cameras, they rotate around a point, so the lens as it traverses the circle, exposes a sliver of film all the way around.
		The film plane is not exposed at one time, but rather just through a small slit to effectively make a fairly flat film plane the optical system can deal with.
		Rotating lens and camera panoramic systems use a curved film plane because of obvious reasons - they are taking a picture of what is around them.

	Lawrence Of Arabia (1962)
		Accompanied by the film's majestically sweeping score, the next scene begins with an endless horizon above which the golden desert sun slowly rises, first seen as a growing sliver of bright light.
		In 1962 when the film first opened, it was 222 minutes long, but it was subsequently cut down by 35 minutes to 187 minutes, and not restored to 217 minutes until 1989.
		Lean admitted that almost all of the film's movement was from left to right, to emphasize the journey theme of the film.

	The Kid Stays in the Picture Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		But his book, the handful of films he was able to produce in the '90s (including lousy-but-sometimes-successful fare such as Sliver and The Saint), and this film all attest to a talent for survival.
		Evans' life is incredibly well documented, photographically, and the film utilizes this with excitement, making the still photographs talk as much as a film clip or talking head (two things rarely seen in the film).
		The film's closing credit reel is also replayed, showing Hoffman playing Evans 20 years later—a wash-up with a vagina (you just have to see it).

	Cartoon puts producer Robert Evans back in picture (printable version)
		Stone’s character gets in her share of jabs at Evans, who doesn’t mind poking fun at “Sliver,” the 1993 bomb that starred Stone and was produced by Evans.
		Evans is an equal opportunity offender when it comes to race and sexuality, but he views the frank references as being a rule breaker.
		Evans, whose life was chronicled in last year’s documentary “The Kid Stays in the Picture,” just hopes he has enough stories to tell.

	New York Press
		But while Evans fits himself into L.B. Mayer and Jack Warner’s jackboots, our admiration of the good films he was involved with distracts our disdain for the untold crap he foisted on the American public–from Love Story to Marathon Man to Sliver.
		Both films approach audiences as mere consumers, anxious to admire their celebrity subjects: film producer Robert Evans and alt-rock band Wilco.
		It’s a good bet that the all-white crowd of Wilco fans we see cheering the live performances in the film has never heard the Ferry or Gray "In Crowd"s, yet they enthusiastically inhabit an impoverished culture–bobbing their heads to a Midwestern hick version of Belle and Sebastian.

	calendarlive.com: 'Rabbit-Proof Fence'
		As the film's embodiment of Australia's racist past, this Social Darwinist spends much of his time reciting variations on the line, "in spite of himself, the native must be helped." All that's missing is a waxed mustache to twirl.
		Among other things, these are films about power and about the burden of history, as it weighs down not merely the oppressed but also those who bend it to their will.
		Otherwise, it was a gilded slide into the abyss with "Sliver," "The Saint" and his last major-studio outing, "The Bone Collector," in which Denzel Washington played a homicide detective who was also a quadriplegic principally, or so it appeared, so he couldn't get his hands on co-star Angelina Jolie.

	Enigma Biography
		In 1993 film producer Robert Evans asked Cretu to write the title song for the motion picture Sliver.
		With their 1991 hit, "Sadeness," Enigma brought the new age fascination with Gregorian chants and old world culture to the clubs; the resulting single was both unique and irresistable.
		There is a sense of mystery in the music that I wanted to leave untouched by the perceptions and preconceived ideas that come with the past history of a producer or a songwriter." He continued, "Contrary to the usual record company philosophy, people are open-minded and starved for something unique.

	The Shining (1980)
		As in many of his films, director Kubrick explores the dimensions of the genre to create the ultimate horror film of a man going mad, aspiring writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson), while serving as an off-season caretaker of an isolated, snowbound resort (the Overlook) with his family: wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd).
		The Shining (1980) is creative director Stanley Kubrick's intense, epic, gothic horror film and haunted house masterpiece - a beautiful, stylish work that distanced itself from the blood-letting and gore of most modern films in the horror genre.
		After flying by a small sliver of an island (with a few trees) in the lake's center, the shot dissolves from the lake to a God's-eye, aerial view of a two-lane mountainous road far below, winding through sun-drenched tall pines in the early morning.

	The Boys from Brazil (1978)
		Other Ira Levin film adaptations of genre note are Roman Polanski's classic Satanic impregnation film Rosemary’s Baby (1968), the android housewife takeover film The Stepford Wives (1974), the hilarious whodunnit spoof Deathtrap (1982), the psycho-sexual thriller Sliver (1993) and The Stepford Wives remake (2004).
		(1976), there seemed an entire sub-genre of Hitler Survives films.
		The implacability all has a certain effect but when he tries to go berserk, the effect is so odd it is laughable.

	Long road home: Philip Noyce's Rabbit-Proof Fence
		The man who had made such iconic Australian films as Backroads (1977), Newsfront and Heatwave (1982), would eventually work with 'stars' like Harrison Ford, Denzel Washington, Sharon Stone and Val Kilmer to make a range of action-thriller genre flicks (Patriot Games [1992], Sliver [1993], The Saint [1997], The Bone Collector [1999] to name a few).
		Running at a short 90 minutes, the film has a minimal storyline that moves swiftly through distinct dramatic arcs: separation of mother and child; introduction to a foreign world; escape and the tough journey home; and the final reunion.
		The film is based on the book, Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, written by Molly's daughter, Doris Pilkington Garimara, who was also forcibly removed from her mother.

	Amazon.com: Music: Sliver: Music From The Motion Picture [SOUNDTRACK]
		Too bad the film "Sliver" wasn't a hit, or else this could've been one of the greatest film soundtracks of all-time.
		I remember two things about the movie "Sliver": One--it was one of the stupidest movies I'd ever seen, and two--that the soundtrack was so good it was ALMOST worth watching the whole film just to listen to the tunes contained herein.

	Modamag.com Cradle 2 The Grave (Movie Review)
		“Cradle 2 The Grave” (and what the heck that title actually means to the film, I will never know), is the new product from famed action producer Joel Sliver.
		The song “X Gonna Give It To Ya” might scream over the soundtrack for the new film, “Cradle 2 The Grave,” but X hardly gives it to ya during this promising, but bloated film.
		It is an improvement in quality for everyone involved, and for at least 2/3 of the film, is actually quite entertaining to watch.

	Sharon Stone Picture Galleries
		Stone's subsequent effort, the erotic thriller Sliver (1993), was an example of this: the actress attracted notice less for her acting than for her willingness to simulate masturbation.
		The 1992 film, in which Stone portrayed a bisexual author/sexual adventurer who may or may not be a serial killer, did her a huge favor by making her a star, but also a sizable disservice by further typecasting her in blonde seductress roles.
		Unfortunately, the film was a relative flop, as were here subsequent 1996 films, Diabolique, a remake of the 1954 French film, and Last Dance, a drama that featured Stone as a woman on death row.

	MTV.com - Movies - Phillip Noyce
		Alas, Noyce's next effort, Sliver (1993) was a misfire Sharon Stone vehicle plagued by in-production indecision and a surprising lack of genuine suspense.
		Noyce continued turning out short documentaries on the more offbeat aspects of Australian life and also ran the University's film society before being accepted at the fledgling Australian Film and Television School in 1972.
		His first American film, an adaptation of Tom Clancy's technothriller Patriot Games (1992), showed he knew how to take charge of a big-budget, big-star project.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Bob le Flambeur - Criterion Collection (1955)
		A terrific experience and an important sliver of film history.
		The title character (Roger Duchesne) is almost a knight errant, with a visible gallantry and code of loyalty suggesting Melville's own dreams of film tradition, reinvented into something both faithful and new.
		But the film is less about the trappings of a conventional heist tale than about Melville's embrace of the form and his wistful weavings within it.

	Salon "The Full Monty"
		With no chewy, ambitious themes, no movie-star charisma or auteur flourishes, "The Full Monty" is the kind of movie that critics underestimate and audiences love -- or at least that crucial segment of the film-going public who occasionally select some little film ("Il Postino," "Strictly Ballroom," "Shine") to elevate to the status of surprise hit.
		T OUGHT TO be easy to dismiss "The Full Monty" as a sliver of low-budget comedic meringue, a bit of art house fluff, but doing that isn't so easy now -- not after a summer of so many fallen soufflés.
		The full monty is the least of the revelations Gaz and company offer the lasses, who have never see their men so sublimely frivolous, so free.

	FRONTLINE/WORLD . Lebanon - Party of God . Interview With David Lewis: Negotiating With Hezbollah PBS
		If there's a negotiated peace settlement and Israel gives up this tiny sliver of land on the border with Lebanon -- this is the Israeli presence that Hezbollah uses as an excuse for why they maintain themselves as a military organization -- there goes the excuse.
		No. I had worked on a film back in 1982 about the massacre that happened in the Palestinian refuge camps there, but I hadn't traveled to Lebanon for that film.
		But Lebanon is a country of mind-bending contrasts, and in an interview with Web editor Douglas Foster in May 2003, Lewis noted that no amount of experience fully prepares a journalist for a story like this one.

	Review: Eye of the Beholder
		Eye of the Beholder, like 1993's Sliver, illustrates an obvious fact: done badly, a film about voyeurism can be just as pointless and aggravating as any other careless thriller.
		Eye of the Beholder, directed by Australian filmmaker Stephan Elliott (who is best known for helming The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert), has a laundry list of problems, the biggest of which is the storyline, which is riddled with credibility holes and logical gaps.
		In fact, some of the best motion pictures of all time, including Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and Krzysztof Kieslowski's searing A Short Film About Love, have played in that arena, integrating the concept of watching into complex and multi-layered plots.

	Inner Space: Gregg Araki's "Mysterious Skin"
		At least we can all agree that Mysterious Skin is a powerful film that everyone should go see and remember fondly for years to come.
		And yes, Mysterious Skin is a brave, outrageous, beautifully-acted sliver of celluloid.
		Bringing into focus two boys obscurely connected, the film's delineation of the divergent paths their lives take, in subconscious response to the trauma of being molested as children, is wrought with painstaking complexity.

	The Blurred Horizon Press: Widescreen Cinema
		A reduced size negative is also used in Techniscope which moves the film through the camera only 2 sprocket holes at a time, creating a sliver of an image which happens to have an aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
		Many of the major releases in the 50s and 60s were filmed and projected from large negative film.
		This process shoots onto the full 1.33 frame with no room being left for the soundtrack (which is recorded separately in all films).
