Happy Feet (2006)
The penguins learn to refine their engrained vocal skills not in the interest of spiritual uplift or any such, but, basically, to get laid.

Without a Trace
The agents are often too late to save the missing or realize that the missing is alive but better off wherever he or she has landed than back at home.

Whispers in the Dark (1992)
What emerges here is a painfully generic potboiler briefly masquerading as softcore porn.

Without a Trace
Insofar as it depicts agents who think and verify before acting, Without a Trace unexpectedly provides an antidote to the current media crime-fighting frenzy.

The Salton Sea (2002)
Danny's story is part noiry nightmare, part scam saga, and part junkie-underground travelogue.

Sweet and Lowdown (1999)
Even though Sean Penn brings a phenomenally hysterical freshness to Emmett Ray (and he played a similarly mustachioed maniac in Hurly Burly, without the artistic genius), Sweet and Lowdown is familiar ground for Woody Allen, replete with his usual themes.
