Carmen (Wide Screen)

Advantages: brilliant cast, great songs
Disadvantages: no decent extras on the DVD

...Monroe and sadly, their real lives appear to have paralleled each others too, with Dandridge dying from a suspected drug overdose in 1965. In Carmen Jones, Dandridge plays Carmen beautifully. From the moment she walks onto the screen, if you're a man, you know you're in trouble. With the flip of a coin she turns from the most sassy and sultry "broad", into a lonely and fragile woman, and back again. At no point in the film did I find her performance anything other than believable. Harry Belafonte was perfectly cast as Joe, the male lead.

Advantages: Gags
Disadvantages: Carmen Elektro dies at the beginning

...Who of you don't know this szene: a young, beautiful girl (in this film Carmen Elektra, who is known from Baywacht) is alone at home making pop-corn. Suddenly the phone is ringging and the voice on the other side (which isn'nt really far*g*) ask her, what's her favourit scary movie is. If you see the man with the white mask running across the picture you should know, that it is a szene from Scream I. This movie is made of szenes from Scream I and II, I know what you did last summer, Blair witch project, American Pie, Matrix, The sixth Sense and many more...but it isn't so scary as in the original movies are, it's more a funny version of this. The soundtrack of this movie is from Bloodhound-Gang "The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope". If you haven't seen this movie at the moment, you'll have to go to the cinema know, and see...
