Editorial Reviews

Christopher Rydell, while in pursuit of his dream to become a famous athlete, meets Sharon Stone, a rich and sexy, but evil woman. Despite his marriage, Rydell becomes obsessed with her bewitching ways, and is soon entangled in a dangerous and devastating relationship. As he rises to fame, so does his torrid affair until the illicit relationship becomes a public scandal. No longer a national hero, Rydell is betrayed by his lover and shunned by his wife. He turns to heavy drinking, and soon it is evident that there is nothing left of his dream of stardom. He has become a victim of obsession.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sharon Stone before "Basic Instinct", March 25, 2000

This review is from: Blood & Sand (DVD)

If you're a devoted Sharon Stone fan you'll love this film. The film is LOW budget and with the exception of Stone, the rest of the cast is virtually unknown. Stone is up to her old tricks with seducing men and taking control in the bedroom. The plot isn't the greatest but you're not purchasing this DVD for the plot...are you? You're buying it to see ALL of Sharon Stone....and you get most of it. If you're grossed out by bullfighting this isn't a film for you. The best scene involves Sharon Stone making love outdoors. Very realistic. Adult viewing NOT for the kids.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing DVD, January 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood & Sand (DVD)

Face it, This was a widescreen movie. On the DVD however, it has been encoded using 1.33:1, the tasteless TV format with only 2 sound channels. I did not read the technical details before i bought it. I think you should read the details. It is like watching a movie with good VHS resolution. nothing more! What have North Americans done to deserve censored DVD versions of European movies. They pay the same price and it is not for public use. Any DVD without 5.1 channel or DTS sound and without anamorphic widescreen dimensions i.e 2.25:1 should be avoided. The stunning beauty of young Sharon Stone makes up for these technical goofs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly awful remake of great classic, January 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood & Sand (DVD)

Blood and Sand was made twice before, in 1922 with Rudolph Valentino and 1941 with Tyrone Power. The first version was good but not excellent, but Tyrone's version was, mostly due to the lavish Technicolor and the excellent supporting cast. But this 1989 remake is absolutely ridiculous; it shouldn't have been made to begin with. None of the stars can save the plot, which is marred a thin, convoluted plot. So if you want to see this bullfighting story, do NOT get this version. Instead get the 1941 version with Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Rita Hayworth. You will not be disappointed. Trust me.
