last night i was channel surfing - i saw young Denzel Washington (ooh! what a cutie!) in a khaki uniform, a dead body, and they are playing what I believe to be La Habanera (and what I KNOWED to be Yello) in the background. so everybody is talking in a weird accent, and i think it must be africa. but no, there is ocean and sand and for some reason i decide it is not africa (even tho i know they also have ocean and sand) but must be Haiti. So they are talking funny and then they say "Yeah Mon" and i realize, ogod they are supposed to be Jamaican! Now I've been to Jamaica, have been close personal long time friends with a Haitian, and can comformatably understand them when they speak. I couldn't understand anybody in this goofy movie! So I changed the channels and then plugged in a dvd. What movie was it???

It was probably 'The Mighty Quinn'. I know La Habanera was used, and I have just looked up a DVD review for the movie that confirms that Denzel Washington was in it. According to the review it is set on a 'small Caribbean island'. The summary of the review stated it was 'A mediocre film that will only be of interest to admirers of Mr Washington.' (The full review is at http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews/Reviews.asp?ID=5378 (it doesn't mention Yello)).

I know which movie you're talking about - saw it on Fox TV. The song was playing a bit more than halfway through, in a scene with some guy from the U.S., where he shoots some other guy. No, I don't remember the movie's title, but when I get home this afternoon I can get it.
