- Don’t Tell Sistah-Girl that She Can’t Carry A Movie : An Interview with Vivica A. Fox

- One for the Road : A Conversation with Ghosts’ Jason Statham

personality in the “Ghosts of Mars,” Statham could probably convince you that he is more complex than Jericho
over a beer at the “local pub.”

- O
- The latest Shakespeare play to be adapted to the screen is “O,” short for Othello. The
film is set in today’s era in a high school environment. Because of the horrific incident that

- John Carpenter’s “Ghosts of Mars” - Is there a Ghostbuster in the House?
- I have seen an hour and 45 minute glimpse of the future and it ain’t pretty. For those of you

sisters like Pam Grier are all part of the population on the now human inhabited Mars.
