Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Along Came a Spider (2001)

This felt like a movie from the late '80s: so dated and TVish, if that makes sense.

Very by-the-numbers thriller. It has a Morgan Freeman as a criminal profiler in self-imposed exile after a botched sting that killed his partner and Monica Potter (the poor-man's Julia Roberts) as a green Secret Service agent teaming up to find a schoolgirl kidnapped from under Potter's nose. You've seen it all before -- probably in the late '80s.
