Elektra-ic!

Elektra (2005)

Starring: Carmen Elecktra Directed by: Rob Bowman Rating: PG-13 Genre: Drama Other

Review Hot-bod super-moron Carmen Elektra isn't even fifty yet and some Hollywood cynic felt the need to paint her life on the big screen...? Just kidding. But my April Fool's joke aside, Elektra's life has been fairly fascinating, from her genre-shifting appearances on German recording star (and former carnival roustabout) David Hasselhoffhorst's BayWatch to her tempestuous marriage to bejeweled whackjob Dr. Dennis Rodman. In a sense, as director Bowman seems to be hinting, Carmen's life has been a microcosm of the last fifteen years of American culture. Here's hoping he follows it up each five years like the fascinating british documentary 7-Up (14-Up, 21-Up, 28-Up, 35-Up, 42-Up, 49-Up, 56-Up, 63-Up, etc). Just maybe by watching Ms. Elektra slowly deteriorate, we'll get a little peek into what awaits us all.
