Such a shame about him, he did Midnight Express which is like the best film ever. He was well past his prime by the time of TNBT, his last big movies were in the mid 70s.

In my mind I went back to her Vogue Evita Interview quote, after I saw TNBT : 'I'm not insanely jealous of the movies Sandra Bullock and Demi Moor are making. It's not art, its not cinema.'

Barney Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Swept away was watchable ive seen it a few times. NBT I saw at the cinema, that was enough for me. I didnt even buy it when it was £2.99 at HMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 The fact she randomly speaks in a British accent and has a constant glow from the back with the lighting was it's hilarious, i can see it from the trailer... was that kind of lighting a MADONNA request? hmmm, all this loathing at TNBT is getting me curious to watch it...

MaddysMuff Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I remember seeing it on opening day. Me and my friend were the only ones there. Then I went on spring break to LA a few weeks later, and saw it AGAIN. I really don't know why I would take 2 hrs out of my trip to see this shit. I'll admit, I was a young fag back when it was released, and I might have shed a tear or two the first time I saw it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai Papi Si. Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Madonna has only starred in 2 good movies - Susan and Dangerous Game (decent film but the best part is that Madonna's acting is GREAT in it). Body of Evidence is great for a laugh and Swept Away is a bad movie but still somehow fun to watch. Evita puts me to sleep. And this movie is the worst of them all!

Zezwer Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 which one is worse , this or swept away? Everyone seems to think this one... but for me this is MILES better than that awful Swept Away movie... even if this is not anything special either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of people seem to think Susan is her best movie... but she was rarely IN the movie... she's just the poster girl for it... but i'd hardly call her the lead character, even if the story is connected to that character... but you could easily see why it's called "Desperately Missing Susan" EVITA is epic and a masterpiece... by far her best movie without question and the only movie which Hollywood gave her credit for... EVERYONE i've showed it to loved it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't a movie per se..more like a collection of sepia toned post cards edited 2 the horrible music of Andrew Loyd Webber..Yeah she was great in it. But boy was that movie overrated.

neutrocks Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I crack up when people think because she came out great in Evita, she would follow up a non-musical with a stellar performance when she never did so before. Certainly, there are a couple films which she did some decent acting such as Dangerous Game, but that film just sucked. The best parts of her acting was the film they were making within the movie. In any event, Evita was right up her alley. She could hardly screw up a two hour music video since she's perfected that. Though, I will admit she emitted much realistic emotion that I've never seen in any other film she did, but again, I've seen her do it in videos as well. It just has something to do with her speaking voice and how when she does speaking roles, she doesn't sound as confident. And when she does, it's almost too confident which results in sounding too fake or unrealistic. The Next Best Thing is a decent film. Definitely something I can see made for LIFETIME. I'm not going to say her acting was the great, but I enjoyed the film nevertheless. I agree that lighting was bad. Not sure what the hell that was about?? I do have to agree with Zezwer. I wasn't really impressed with that film. She didn't seem to be in it that much and she was, she was simply playing up to the musical persona she created. I'm not even sure she even had to act for that. She just came in and delivered lines as her self. I think the reason why she is praised so much is because it was her first major film which broke out when she was on top of the world. We really didn't have much to compare her to until she started making more films. My favorite character is the over the top Niki Finn. I will admit "Who's That Girl" is pretty much a dumb movie, but I loved Madonna's character. Or I loved the random multi-personalities she came up with.

Madonna may have put her blood sweat and tears into that movie but I still hate it. It's boring. Then again I am allergic to musicals. Susan may not have taken much acting from Madonna, but it was a hot movie. And Dangerous Game is a great film, you just have to have hte patience to get over the first 10 minutes or so. It's not for everyone but it picks up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Snake Eyes..He told me if he couldn't get in2 my pussy he was gonna put it in my mouth & I would have done everything. That was creepy..after the NME 95 interview..watching that scene again..u just know given that the script was kinda thrown out & they could improvise..she was drawing from experience.
