LOLLOL!  Hey!  That doesn't mean I'm not deep!  Depth sometimes lies in
being able

from a friend.  He's a police Lieutenant in Rhode Island, and we met at an
officer's funeral
in Providence about 15 years ago.  Good man!
 
Besides, I've always attributed being deep to you guys and Tracey in our

By RICHARD L. ELDREDGE | Friday, March 16, 2007, 01:31 AM 
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Before Dallas Austin Foundation gala attendee Gabrielle Union blew out of town 
this week, we managed to get some scoop from the actress on the pressing 
commitments back in Hollywood that cut her Atlanta visit short. Union disclosed 
that she’s been cast in the currently shooting pilot of “Football Wives,” the 
U.S. version of “Footballers Wives,” the hit U.K. soap. And in terms of 
casting, the upcoming ABC prime-time soap has a chance to be the network’s next 
“Brothers and Sisters.”
In addition to Union, the cast includes “Idlewild” actor Ving Rhames, “Dawson’s 
Creek” grad James Van Der Beek, “Xena” actress Lucy Lawless, “Invasion” actor 
Eddie Cibrian, “Love, Inc.” actress Holly Robinson Peete and Union’s “Daddy’s 
Little Girls” co-star Brian J. White.
“My character’s name is Chardonnay Lane, and she’s not the nicest girl around,” 
Union told us, flashing a big smile. “She’s a pop star on her way up, and for a 
girl from Nebraska, she’s really fun to play! I’ve joked on set that I also go 
by Pinot Grigio.”
Union also has fond memories of shooting Atlanta director-writer Tyler Perry’s 
“Daddy’s Little Girls” here last year. Of the recently released flick that 
underperformed at the box office, Union cracked to the assembled media, “And 
I’m sure everyone saw that movie, right?”
While in town, Union said her haunts included Justin’s, the Atlanta Fish 
Market, Two Urban Licks and Atlantic Station. “I pretty much blew my per diem 
at all those boutiques at Atlantic Station, too!” she disclosed.
And her favorite Atlanta eatery? “Any place that serves biscuits, basically!” 
she replied.

I saw it on the last leg of my trip.  It was my first taste of Scifi
in The US in More than a year.  I hoped for so much, but it seemed a
little formulaic, the script was week and the production seemed
extremely low budget.  I did not have a problem with low bodget
productions, but it does not seem like much effort was done to get the
most out of the budget they had.

 After being asked to unravel a bizarre murder case, private
investigator Vicki Nelson realizes that uncovering who — or what — the
killer is may be a lot harder than for her typical case. During a
stakeout the ex-cop meets Henry Fitzroy, who looks to be an
irresistible twentysomething playboy but claims he's actually a
450-year-old vampire! Though she has trouble swallowing his story,
Henry has interesting insight into the case, so Vicki teams up with
him to nail the killer. But things get complicated when sparks ignite
between this unlikely pair, and Vicki's ex-partner and former flame,
who immediately distrusts Henry, takes an undue interest in the new
partners' undeniably electric connection.
 Blood Ties, based on Tanya Huff's best-selling Blood Books novels,
follows Vicki as she finds herself more and more drawn to probing the
unexplainable, leading her to walk a line between the supernatural and
earthly worlds, torn between the men on either side.
 Character: Vicki Nelson
 Cop turned private investigator Vicki Nelson has the not-so-easy
task of solving supernatural cases with the help of her sexy
preternatural partner, Henry, and her assistant, Coreen.
 Christina Cox
 Best known for her lead role in F/X: The Series as well as her
performance opposite Vin Diesel in The Chronicles of Riddick,
actress Christina Cox's credits also include CSI: Miami, Cold Case
and Numb3rs. Recently, Cox cocreated a pilot called The Trackers,
and soon she'll be seen opposite Ving Rhames in the upcoming film
Ascension Day.
 Character: Coreen Fennel
 After her boyfriend was murdered, Coreen sought Vicki's help,
believing supernatural forces were involved. Now she's Vicki's assistant.
 Gina Holden
 Gina Holden began her career as a model, finding success as the face
of Shiseido cosmetics. After discovering acting, Holden went on to
appear in Fantastic Four, Final Destination 3, The Butterfly
Effect 2 and Code Name: The Cleaner. The actress's television
credits include Reunion, The L Word, Psych, Supernatural and
The Dead Zone.
 Character: Mike Celluci
 Vicki's ex-partner and sometime lover Mike Celluci is often
simultaneously trying to tackle the same unexplainable cases as Vicki,
and he's far from thrilled about Vicki and her new partner's palpable
chemistry.
 Dylan Neal
 Dylan Neal is a well-recognized face on television, having had
recurring roles in JAG, The Bold and the Beautiful and Dawson's
Creek, as Doug Witter. Neal has also been seen in the series
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, The War at Home, CSI: Miami and
Kevin Hill. He appeared on the big screen alongside Josh Hartnett in
the film 40 Days and 40 Nights.

 Henry Fitzroy, a 450-year-old vampire and the son of Henry VIII,

LOLLOL! Hey! That doesn't mean I'm not deep! Depth sometimes lies in
being able 
to recognize someone else's depth! The first time I saw this quote was an
email signature
from a friend. He's a police Lieutenant in Rhode Island, and we met at an
officer's funeral
in Providence about 15 years ago. Good man!

Besides, I've always attributed being deep to you guys and Tracey in our
group!

Man, you should have let the credit off that quote. I read that line and
thought, Damn! Reece is *deep*! Then I realized it wasn't an original
piece. Darn!

Yeah, I guess seeing slaves is too depressing or something. Well, I guess
that explains why I can never expect to see that Nat Turner flick!

Yes, I groaned when I heard a reviewer mention how refreshing it was 
to have an anti-slavery movie with no slaves. And he was serious.
