DVD Reviews of Shanghai Surprise (Special Edition)

DVD Review: I found it racist
Summary: 1 Stars

This is my reason for disliking Sean Penn AND Madonna. On the plus side, this movie and Who's That Girl showcase Madonna's lack of natural acting ability so one is never tempted to even wonder if her remake of the Italian classic Swept Away deserves a look-see and if you hated Sean Penn's cannibalistic turn in Mystic River, you'll love this film as evidence of the actor's lack of integrity and fairness albeit towards the Chinese who aren't supposed to be worth much never mind the rise of their currency. I was fortunate enough to be in the audience of the original Broadway run of Evita and I have the cast recording and I am convinced that Madonna basically and only copied what she could glean off the recording of Patti Lupone's performance for the extended music video that was the moovie Evita. I don't want to express anything hurtful so I will restrain myself from giving my complete opinion about this movie and what I think it says about these two actors. This movie is offensive to me and the lack of outrage by the critics when this movie came out is also offensive to me. I'm ashamed that this movie was created in my lifetime when my country presents itself as good enough to tell other countries how to behave.

Why does Sean Penn tend to play characters who are from the wrong side of the tracks anyway? Wasn't he born with a silver spoon in his mouth? This reminds me of Matt Damon making Good Will Hunting and Marky Mark caint do nuttin about that. Haw.

Madonna is a narcissist and she bootlegs intellectual property. She's safer just being herself.
