  Cruel Intentions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cruel Intentions is a 1999 feature film starring Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair.
It was based on the 18th century French novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses, but unlike other modern film versions of the novel (such as Dangerous Liaisons and Valmont), Cruel Intentions was set among the wealthy teens of modern-day New York society (though the principal cast members were all in their twenties).
The film later spawned a pilot called Manchester Prep, which was not picked up for broadcast, and two direct-to-video sequels, of which the first, Cruel Intentions 2, consisted of the Manchester Prep pilot reworked to contain new scenes, harsher language, and nudity.

 Chapter 9: Cruel and Unusual?
It is generally considered that this right could only be abrogated if it could be proved that a particular punishment was cruel and unusual-which would be a violation of the 8th Amendment to the Constitution which guarantees protection against cruel and unusual punishment.
As such, the phrase could apply to any kind of punishment at all, and the phrase "cruel and unusual" may be taken to mean something closer to "arbitrary and capricious" (more akin to the 14th Amendment guarantee of due process).
The Supreme Court's arguments against the use of corporal punishments on the grounds that they are cruel and unusual are very shaky indeed, and their bias in favor of prison as a punishment is clear.

 Amazon.com: Cruel Smile: Music: Elvis Costello   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Cruel Smile is a stop-gap compilation of peripheral recordings dating from the When I Was Cruel sessions (including sundry remixes of tracks from that album), radio slots, and performance tracks, many of which were originally released as B-sides and bonus cuts on singles from the far flung corners of the globe.
But, unfortunately, that's about it as far as "Cruel Smile" goes -- the disc's other 67 minutes are either failed trip-hop remixes of "When I Was Cruel" tunes or ho-hum live war horses.
Filled with bits and pieces from tours and the WHEN I WAS CRUEL CD this recording has a great alternate cut of "Spooky Girlfriend" that beats the original, "Watching the Detectives" and "Uncomplicated" (Two of my favorites) live and enough other songs of interest for the true fan.

 Ace of Base : Cruel Summer - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Their first two records mined infectious Euro-disco beats to great effect, and the first, at least, illustrated they had a knack for writing big, irresistible pop hooks.
Cruel Summer, their third album, attempts to capture the carefree, stylish charm that drove "All That She Wants" and "The Sign" to the top of the charts, and while it has its moments, it fails to rival their previous pop pinnacles.
It's a little disappointing that the melodic high point is the title track, a cover of Bananarama's new wave classic.

A profane, wicked, barely believable but also oddly enjoyable teen variation on Dangerous Liaisons, Cruel Intentions is a truly guilty pleasure until it begins to take itself far too seriously.
Writer/director Roger Kumble's take on this tale of decadence is light on subtlety, but takes the proceedings to a giddy limit, and adapts the story with more panache than it probably deserves in a setting so inherently shallow.
Cruel Intentions is based on that movie, but they were all originally based on "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" which is a very popular classic book!
