Nick Cannon wants to make a film with Mariah Carey.
The rapper-and-presenter claims his spouse is the funniest person he knows and he would love for them to show off her comedic talents in a joint venture.
He said: “I’d love to do a film with Mariah. But it would have to be a comedy. She’s the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time.”
Mariah’s most recent big screen outing was as a dowdy social worker in ‘Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire’ and she admits she felt “tortured” by the role, although she believes it has made her a better person.
She said: “It was definitely a commitment to be seen looking that bad. I love Lee Daniels, the director, but he’s a sick man. He wanted to torture me.
“But you know, it freed me in a lot of ways. I don’t worry about certain things in the same way any more.”

Avatar
It about knowing a new race a new world in a new horizon. The sequel starts with the war between the blue “Navi’s” and humans who wants to invade the alien planet “Pandora” for it priceless resources.
Navi’s are very emotional & spiritual beings who love and worships nature and very mysteriously connected with every living thing of their planet.
It is not another alien oriented film where Sigourney Weaver fights with the alliens but one of the most philosophic master piece that ever made by James Cameron which shows love and affection for the whole alien race. Actually it’s a massage in disguise that we must care for our priceless treasure, our mother earth.
It seems their has been an extensive years of research behind this movie and unique detailing in every scene. All the blue ‘Navi’s’ are so real that it reflects each and every human characters and the moral of the story is love for nature and fight for existence.
Avatar has topped all box-office records last year, making as much as £200million in one weekend, and it one of the most anticipated film for the oscars 2010.
Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
Claireece Precious Jones a deprived teenage girl with unfulfilled dreams, raped by her own father abused by her own mother and infected with AIDS. It’s a very pathetic story of an American girl carelessly raised in messed up home.
Director Lee Daniels portrays “Precious” (Gabourey Sidibe) in an unbelievably realistic frame where anyone is compelled to feel for her with deepest sympathy.
The film is so down to earth that it makes us feel “Precious” is just one of our own daughter. “Precious” who is precious to no-one in her family impregnated twice by her father and treated as a slave by her mother (Mo’Nique) . This is an extremely tragic story of an imaginative girl with shattered dreams and unanswered tears, who strives hard to exists and express her sorrows.
The Hurt Locker
The film is based on real life scenario of war-zone Iraq, where life and death is determined in matter of seconds. It’s focused on the team of US Army EOD and highlights basic human fears and frustrations of the soldiers in the bomb disposal squad.
The original story was written by Mark Boal, a freelance writer who was embedded with a bomb squad . The film shows graphical images of a young dead boy who has been surgically implanted with an unexploded bomb discovered by William James (Jeremy Renner).The flawless tight editing of this film gives a very realistic scene of war wrecked Baghdad beautifully composed by director Kathryn Bigelow.
The film has already won the BAFTA 2010 Best Film and speculations are high that it would sweep away this year’s Oscar too.
