Three Words
$40.98
The most beautiful woman in the world is taking a break-ette from judging a talent show to hoist a music album on her swooning public. '3 Words' but it actually has many words: "I don't need a parachute, baby if I got you. Baby if I got you, I don't need a parachute.." she trills mechanically and the world gasps at the momentousness of it all...
If I was in 'Revelation' mode (I.e: stating the absolute obvious, and ramming it down people's throats like it was insight), I'd cynically suggest, that the most beautiful woman in the world has released a cash-in music album - tidily tying up the latest series of X-Factor and the ferocious oncoming of Christmas - and prudently filled it full of conciliatory noises towards her good-for-nothing footballer husband.
Solid marketing strategy but surely no-ones going to fall for it; surely this time, no-ones going to BITE...!?

Brilliantly, around this time of year, a one-star dismissal of some such or similar creation, not only attracts the usual, all year round belly-aching howling wounded, but it will also summon that psychotically more fearful mistake of nature: 'The Indignant On-Line Christmas Shopper' - a far nastier commenting creature - something akin to the Alligator Snapping Turtle.
These festive frighteners can chill the heart of even the most righteous reviewer when they come cruising. They'll be a-looking for a quick fix to the frosty problem of what to buy their loved ones - and woe betide you if your review doesn't match their bone-idle expectations.
When they receive their music album by the most beautiful woman in the world, they and their spawn will be secretly disappointed; her solo work is plain and oppressive. She's fab and teary when she's championing her disgusting sub-pub turns against the vampire-devil, but she should steer clear of writing/recording herself. Her music album sounds like a hundred other cds released this year by people who - unluckily for them - aren't the most beautiful woman in the world.
Mid-paced, over-produced pop, lined with bits of hip-hop, trance, funk, rock and pretty much everything else proven profitable in the last decade; it's all here on '3 Words' - played by a computer and sung by something not much above a fem-bot.

Not forgetting of course, the handful of sickeningly slushy ballads, one of which the most beautiful woman in the world will bravely release as her attempt at the lucrative Christmas No 1.
I predict 'Heaven:' "My Heaven's with you, you, you. My Heaven's with you, you, you..." or perhaps even 'Make Me Cry:' "Are you trying to make me cry, are you trying to make me cry, are you trying to make me cry, are you trying to make me cry..." Even children will see through this.

The idea of the most beautiful woman in the world stumbling her way through 40-odd minutes of samey, fluttery nonsense is an oddly disturbing one. The risible state of popular music once again unashamedly reveals both its legacy AND its intent for the future - and it's not even pretending to be nice.

Bless her and all that, but she appears to be some sort of figurehead of all-things-blanch-and-corporate in our world, and the REALLY disturbing thing is - and '3 Words' is miserable proof - she doesn't care a jot.

This shoe is very good looking and very well made, but it runs a little small, so I would advise the purchasing of this shoe to the next whole size up for a comfortable fit.

While this is a love story it is intertwined within the Vietnam War. It is a very violent and even humorous movie. Women may balk at the violence and wonder how anyone could call it a chick-flick to begin with. Well, it has a love story, and for us guys this is about as close as we want to get to that!

To summarize briefly, Ken Wahl meets Cheryl Ladd and they click. Most of the clicking is probably due to the horrific nature of the war. But through circumstance and opportunity this love grows. Then through explosions and death the story progresses to an ending that even guys will agree is acceptable. I know I did.

I first saw this movie overseas a couple of decades ago on a VHS rip off of a laser disc. At some point I craved seeing it again and bought the VHS version from Amazon. As soon as it comes out on DVD (fingers crossed) I'll buy that as well. This is a movie I consider a keeper. It has a good story and some good war-type violence. Once you throw in some humor then I am good to go! Hurry up Mr. DVD Maker...
