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

Experience Hendrix presents unforgettable highlights from two star-studded tribute concerts to Jimi Hendrix hailed by critics and fans alike as the greatest guitarist of all time. Filmed in San Diego and at the Paramount Theatre in Hendrix's hometown of Seattle these special never-before-released performances feature legendary blues giants Buddy Guy and Hubert Sumlin coming together with Paul Rodgers former Rolling Stones lead guitarist Mick Taylor and the newest generation of guitar heroes including Kenny Wayne Shepherd Robert Randolph Pearl Jam's Mike McCready Kid Rock's Kenny Olson and Vernon Reid to celebrate Jimi's legacy. Joining forces with these great artists are Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Experience as well as Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon from Double Trouble the powerful rhythm section who served the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. In his brief four-year reign as a superstar Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship - he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire - has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter singer and master of a gamut of blues R&B and rock styles. Tracklist: 1. Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Double Trouble - Come On Voodoo Chile and I Don't Live Today 2. Indigenous - Hear My Train A-Comin' 3. Living Colour - Power of Soul and Crosstown Traffic 4. Eric Gales - Purple Haze 5. Hubert Samlin Jimmy D.Lane & Double Trouble - Bleeding Heart and Killing Floor 6. Mitch Mitchell Billy Cox & Andy Aledort - Freedom 7.
