Summary: ummm...Madonna cannot act.....
Review: shes the worse actress Ive ever seen. but this movie is so bad that its entertaining. my question to her is.. why would she do a guy like williem dafoe? he's not good looking at all!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie isn't as bad as you think
Review: Madonna's track record with movies has not been too good. When this movie was released it was trashed by the critics, but I believe it was in part because it was released at the same time as her Sex book and Erotica CD. Most of the public were fed up with Madonna and sex and people basically ignored this movie and one of her best CD's, Erotica.

Madonna plays Rebecca Carlson who is accused of killing her lover with sex for his millions. Rebecca then gets involved with her attorney in some over the top sex scenes (candle wax and a broken light bulb). Madonna is particularily good during the trial scenes (her acting isn't as bad as some make it out to be)and the ending will blow you away, it definitely took me by surprise. I would definitely give this movie a chance and look past the fact that it is Madonna and just enjoy the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just do it, says Madonna
Review: Certainly the best film of all time, Madonna stars as a hot sex addict who loves to dominate her men. When the old man she's been seeing dies in a sex-related position, Madonna is fingered as the culprit. Since the old guy was very rich and Madonna stands to inherit tons of cash, she is taken to court and must prove her innocence. Represented by Willem Dafoe, she uses her feminine wiles to seduce him and the court. But is she telling the truth?

It's not like people buy this to see some spectacular acting, even though every last line is awesome and quote-worthy. Most people go to titter at the nudity, and you get some topless Madonna shots and some soft-focus nudes, so there's that. Don't be surprised if someone walks in while you're watching this and ask if you're watching a pornographic feature.

When the conclusion comes along, make sure to wipe your jaw off the floor. I know I did after the stunning plot twist that I didn't even guess until maybe twenty minutes in.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MMM-MMM-Madonna!
Review: 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!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: How many naked women make a Hollywood thriller?
Review: Basic Instinct had 2. This one has 3, jolly good. Get yourself a paper towel(s) and some hand cream.

Body of Evidence only feeds the voyeur in you, not that i am complaining. However, it comes across as a very poor imitation of the sexy thriller genre. Madonna as always is tasty and juicy but acting is not something that she excels in. Her zest is evident in the steamy scenes but she stands exposed in places that require serious emoting.

The one dimensional portrayal of all the characters is something common to the genre and is to be taken with a pinch of salt. After the first 15 minutes or so you are pretty well sure of where you're headed with this one, although i must say muff munching and canal digging (hands in the zipper)was most surprising and innovative.

However, for me it was Julianne Moore who sizzled in bed rather than Madonna. So hold on to the towel and hand spray, we're going for a ride.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Oh my God
Review: Oh dear. this is an abysmal movie. So abysmal that after twenty minutes I found myself fast-forwarding through the movie, admittedly pausing to view the dirty bits involving Madonna and Defoe. The trouble is that Defoe is just about the most unnattractive actor in Hollywood, and Madonna, whilst both beautiful AND sexy, is somehow portrayed in this movie as an utterly sexless thing, almost like one of those blow-up dolls with '3 working orifices'. Or is that orifi? Anyway, the whole film sucked. Mind you, that Willen Defoe is a lucky S.O.B. The muff-munching scene in the carpark was obviously real.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Madonna, you are not Monroe
Review: Madonna, you are not, was never, and never will be Marilyn Monroe. This is a BAD movie, but the best scene is when Madonna is put on trial. When she is on the stand, she gives the movie's best line. You'll know when you see it.
