Body of Evidence (1993)
Not sure if Madonna’ s a shitty actress, or if she picks shitty scripts. Either way, this is shitty. A hastily assembled replica of Basic Instinct. Madonna’s not as attractive as she thinks she is.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Another film which doesn’t hold up quite as well as others from the mid 80’s. I remember enjoying it much more when it originally came out. All the same characters, plus an annoying girl. Decent story, if a bit topical and preachy. Save the whales!

Just Like Heaven (2005)

Imagine Me & You (2005)
Despite Perabo’s punchable, plastic smile, it’s decent. Is Matthew Goode the next Hugh Grant?

A Mighty Wind (2003)
Dull at first, but it grew on me. Very successful documentary imitation, and crisp performances by minor actors, especially Willard. Some really great musical performances.
