Movie Reviews of Body of Evidence
Movie Review: Madonna Dearest's Girlie-Showgirls
Summary: 5 Stars
When "Body of Evidence" was released hot on the heels of the Madonna media backlash that was started with the lukewarm critical response to Erotica and the accompanying SEX book, it seemed like the film was to be the final nail in the coffin of Madge's bid for legitimate Hollywood stardom. I think at this point we can all agree that the poor gal has unfortunately all the warmth and range of a cold stick BUT I think the time may be near when under general consensus we can all agree that she can't act and (given her unarguable cutural significance) start reapraising her films in relation to their awful-ness or camp value. "Body of Evidence" is my favorite bad Madonna movie. It's ludicrous bid for erotic intensity, Madonna's flat dialogue delivery, Madonna's Granny Panties, it's ridiculous plot involving humping people to death while partying on drugs...all the Material Girl flesh on parade. Georgeous Madonna rolling around with ugly (gay) Willem DeFoe dumping candle wax on each other like an episode of Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries. Time will age this monstrosity into THE midnight movie Madonna offering. Evita's too long, Who's That Girl..too annoying...Shanghai Suprise...close but not bad enough...Next Best Thing..nah! and then there are the "Good" Madonna movies...Desperately Seeking Susan, Truth or Dare and that kinda good Abel Ferrara one. I think Madonna should star in a remake of Pinnochio...y'know...the story of a wooden pop-star who wanted to be a real actress. I love her.Movie Review: Quite sexy, suspensful, provocative!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I sincerely found this movie provocative, sexy, and quite entertaining. Madonna was more than acceptable and convincing in her role as a manipulating, calculating gold digging sultress. I find the problem so many have w/ her acting, is just her mere presence. Right from the first scene shes in, the director blatantly was trying not to show her face to keep the suspense cause you "knew" it was Madonna, but waits until a sudden close up of her face. Once you see its her, here mere presence seems to cause more of a distraction cause its "Madonna". Therefore, once she speaks her 1st line she probably loses credability from most viewers. But I thought the dialogue, plot, sex/ nude scenes were extremely hot, climatic and natural. Some say there was no chemistry between Madonna and Defoe, I totally disagree, they were blended VERY well together, and Madonna clearly "taught" him a thing or two ;). Madonnas high point in the movie was the court scene where she really display some amazing acting chops!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!Movie Review: Madonna as a Lethal Weapon ( A Tragedy ) ?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not quite a "who done it ?" mystery and it is not a parody of the genre so it should get some artistic credit for looking somewhat like that kind of movie. It is produced to be a little dark. It begins with some skin and that skin quickly turns out to be "cause of death" but is it murder ? A lot of people want to know and the answer is not clear. There is an ongoing investigation that gets all tangled up with more sex in unusual places. There is passion, betrayal and cover-up ! Is there a "good guy" in all of this ? Forget that Madonna shows some skin. Forget that her behavior is risquee. What's new ? She's a smart cookie and that comes through in her character. In the end, is she smart enough? You be the judge.Movie Review: MMM-MMM-Madonna!
Summary: 5 Stars
Madonna stars as a young woman accused to killing a man to get his money. Is she guilty? Willem DeFoe plays her lawyer who tries to prove her innocence. However, he gets emotionally involved with her and begins having doubts about his client's alibi. An erotic thriller...steamy at times. Madonna BURNS up the screen with her sexy body. YOW!Movie Review: Lay Off The Queen
Summary: 4 Stars
I just want to start out by saying i don't know why this movie gets so much flack...well actually i do.....in response to claims that Madonna can't act...i will admit that while none of her performances with the exception of "Evita" have been Oscar worthy...they really haven't been that bad.As for this movie i thought it was one of her best as far as acting goes...and the other complaint about it that i hear alot is theres too much sex..well you hypocrits need to stop acting like assuming thats what it was mainly about isn't the reason you picked it up in the first place...get over yourselves and just admit the "shameful" truth that you WANTED to see alot of sex!!
And one more thing you all need to get off Madonna's back cause in no interview has she ever claimed to be a good actress anyway...Madonna in movies is just another example of her doing something she wants and loves to do without caring if anyone else likes it cause she knows that when all is said and done you'll feel better if you do what you want rather than playing it safe...plus whos got the balls to get back up and do it again like she does.
And the last reason people dog not only this one but almost all of her movies is because they're not actually giving her a chance cause once they pop in that movie they're still seeing Madonna the singer not Madonna the actress and as long as thats happening you will never truly be able to appreciate her acting talent.
So watch the damn movie with an open mind and a non-critical manner and see how much you like it then.
