Movie Reviews:

Yellow asterisk: funny (maybe). White asterisk: expanded format. Blue asterisk: not mine. No asterisk: it probably sucks.

"Fatal Love"

Fatal Love (1993) or Wei Qing, is an Hong Kong category III thriller that is only notable because of a very naked Ellen Chan in the lead role. IMDb lists it, but calls it G rated. Ellen is the top police cadet at the academy when another cadet, jealous of her accomplishments, places stolen jewelry in her locker. She is tossed out of the school, but the head is reasonably sure she was innocent, and arranges a job for her as an undercover detective. They are after charming businessman Michael Wong, who plays a great game of golf and owns several legitimate businesses, but also sells drugs. However, they are after him as a suspect in the deaths of several women. Ellen is to get next to him and gather evidence.

They give her intense training on acting, lock picking, safe cracking, and anything else they thought she would need to know. She had no trouble meeting him, and ingratiating herself, or so it seemed. It turned out, however, that she never had him fooled, and the one bit of her training she forgot was not to trust him and get involved romantically.

Ellen Chan does a full frontal riding Michael Wong. We also get glimpses of his previous victims, who are uncredited.

IMDb readers say 4.5, but on almost no votes. As the film opens with Ellen in the process of dying in the emergency room, there is nearly no suspense. The sex scenes are no long enough, hot enough, frequent enough, or well lit enough to carry the film. Some of the murder methods are in good Hong Kong form (strange), but the only other thing of interest in the story is the two leads, who are very good looking and charismatic. This is a D.

MAN ATTACKS MOM IN "AMERICAN IDOL" DISPUTE
A-Hole Patrol! - Cory K. Favreau of Plattsburgh, New York, is charged with felony assault and weapons possession after he allegedly attacked his mother over a comment she made about "American Idol." The two were discussing the show when his mom said that Katharine McPhee would have a successful career despite losing to Favreau's favorite, Taylor Hicks. Police say Favreau made a malicious comment to his mom, then hit her in the head with a sharpened cross attached to a bicycle chain. She was treated for a cut. Police say they had both been drinking.

* Obviously, or they would've realized that Chris Daughtry should've won, DAMMIT!!
* Apparently, their real idol is Paul Abdul.
* They weren't drunk, they were just copying Taylor Hicks' dancing.
* After enough drinks, you don't feel the pain of either a head blow or Katharine's high notes.
* Favreau's dad is deceased, because he once said he preferred Clay to Ruben.

HIP-HOPPERS OFF THE HOOK
Acquitted Just Like That - Thursday, a New York jury took only a few hours to acquit rappers Ludacris and Kanye West of copyright infringement in a lawsuit by New Jersey musicians who claimed the 2003 hit "Stand Up" ripped off their obscure song, "Straight Like That." The issue was that both songs repeat the phrase "like that" more than 80 times, except one precedes it with the word "straight" and the other with "just." Afterwards, Ludacris said he never doubted the jurors would agree the songs didn't sound alike and insisted, "The only thoughts and ideas I borrow from are those of my own."

* Actually, Stevie Wonder said that in 1978, and Ludacris "sampled" it.
* His thoughts and ideas are entirely his own, and it's not his fault that they're so unoriginal.
* Both songs repeat the words "like that" over 80 times, and the jury didn't think they sounded alike? Obviously, the jurors were driven insane.
