Sliver 1993

Life is Hard by Johnny Winter from the CD: "Let Me In"

Starring: Sharon Stone, Tom Berenger and William Baldwin

Synopsis: Carly Norris (Sharon Stone), a demure divorcée 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.

Fire In The Sky 1993

Blinded by Love by Johnny Winter from the CD: "Saints and Sinners"
"Blinded by Love" by Johnny Winter was blasting on the radio in that scene in the movie when those guys were driving down the road in the truck. (During that scene a bit of a fight broke out in the truck drowning out the song on the radio. Someone in the truck yelled "Come on this is a great song') Three loggers traveling by truck encounter a strange bright light in the sky and decide to investigate further. They pull their truck over and one of them, Travis hops out of the truck to get a better look. As he gazes to the sky a beam of bright light focuses down on him. Immediately he is paralyzed and lifted into the air and into a strange craft circling above. The action focuses on his encounters onboard this alien vessel. He is dragged about by small ogre like brown aliens and then operated on by large headed blue aliens. These are the so called blues and grays of UFO folklore. In one scene plastic is affixed over his face so he can't even scream. Denied the ability to move he sits like a guiena pig just waiting to be disected, prodded, or even just disposed of. Several days later Travis magically appears near a truck stop and is promptly picked up by his friends. He tells the story of his dissaperance to a local sherriff and a lie detector expert. The loggers that were with him are also questioned. These are the so called "debriefing" scenes so to speak that often follow UFO encounters as everyone is quick to debunk people making such allegations. Travis grows distant from everyone but finally in the end comes to terms with his encounter. He jokes that next time he won't step out of the truck when a strange light appears in the sky. The movie featured some terrifyingly realistic alien encounter scenes that will raise the pulse of even the strongest naysayers of UFO folklore.

Starring: D.B. Sweeney and Robert Patrick

Synopsis: The astonishing story of Travis Walton, an Arizona logger who, in the presence of five of his friends, was struck by a brilliant bolt of energy beaming from the sky and then disappeared for several days.
