This week’s slightly belated edition of Eric’s Bad Movies at Film.com addresses something that I have heretofore been quiet about: Madonna’s film career. The subject is “Shanghai Surprise.” The co-star is Sean Penn. The result is boring.

Shanghai Surprise sounds like an STD.
Ha! I’m glad to see this review!!! The most unholy thing about this movie, I’d say, is that godawful song George Harrison composed for it. It’s on the bonus tracks of one of his albums, so it pops up on my iPod sometimes when I have it on shuffle. I like George Harrison music when most people don’t, I’d say. (Hey, who else out there can claim to be a minor fan of “Gone Troppo?” How many people have even *heard* that album?) But his song for Shanghai Surprise killed me a little bit. …I mean, that’s not even Madonna singing the duet with him. That said, it’s not as bad as 85 percent of the soundtrack of “Who’s That Girl.”
(I need to stop listening to bad music.)
Just as long as you don’t go after “A League of Their Own” . . .
“Tatlock and Wasey figure out that one of the guys from the first scene, Faraday, had a Chinese mistress who might know where the opium is now that Faraday is dead.”
So THAT’S where Daniel ended up.
