ONE of OUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE PARODY TRAILERS is from 1977's KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE: IT's for a LUDICROUS BLAXPLOITATION/DRIVE-IN FLICK CALLED CLEOPATRA SCHWARTZ (YOU TUBE LINK).

WITH the RELEASE of COLOMBIANA, the BERRY SEXY (and ACTUALLY TALENTED) ZOE SALDANA RUNS the RISK of GETTING AS MANY LAUGHS as MIZZ SCHWARTZ DID in KFM. AND EVEN IF CRIX DON'T RECALL the CLEOPATRA SCHWARTZ TRAILER, THEY'RE ALMOST CERTAIN to DRAW PARALLELS BETWEEN SALDANA and the ACTRESS KFM WAS POKING FUN at, the QUEEN of 1970s BLAXPOLITATION, PAM GRIER.

AFTER HER INTERESTING TAKE on UHURA in STAR TREK and HER PERFORMANCE as a PASSIONATE ALIEN in AVATAR, WE THOUGHT SALDANA HAD the POTENTIAL for a SERIOUS CAREER as an ACTRESS WHO JUST HAPPENED to BE SEXY. BUT COLOMBIANA, WHICH PLAYS MORE ON SALDANA's PHYSICAL ASSETS THAN HER ACTING CHOPS (and WAS CO-WRITTEN by a 1989 WORST SCREENPLAY NOMINEE) LOOKS LIKE a MAJOR CAREER MIS-STEP to US. MAYBE NOT AS BIG a MIS-STEP as HALLE BERRY's RAZZIE® "WINNING" TURN as CATWOMAN, BUT a MIS-STEP NONE-the-LESS.

IF YOU'D LIKE to WARN MIZZ SALDANA SHE MAY BE HEADING HERSELF into RAZZIE® TERRITORY, HERE's the LINK to JOIN OUR DISCUSSION of COLOMBIANA a.k.a...

THE RETURN OF CLEOPATRA SCHWARTZ?!?!?

SALDANA: "I was aiming to blow a hole in this year's
