Since Girlfight, Rodriguez has signed on to play a cabbie in the drama 3 am (co-starring Danny Glover) and a car racer's girlfriend in the movie Redline (with Vin Diesel). She's getting plenty of offers, but she is searching for meaningful roles. "[Screenwriters] keep going at it with the same fantasy formula," she says, "and it affects women because it's the fantasies of these old white men. It's all about satisfying their egos, and I see it through the work. And it's tiring. It makes movies predictable...
...occasionally comes to the back of the plane to chat with reporters, but he mumbles so much that the press had to set up an amplification device in the aisle to try to catch what he's saying.

But until now, no one had set a teaser scene in a Nazi death camp, where gaunt Jews trudge to their doom. A boy, torn from his parents, goes into a seizure, and the camp gates are bent open. Aha! So the inmates are miraculously freed? No. It's not about the 6 million. It's about this...
...talent is widely acknowledged." Apart from supporting bits in silly sequels to Scream and Major League, he has top billing in two HBO movies and had a stint on ER's 1996-97 season. "He's still young, but Omar brings a real maturity to his roles," says Danny Glover, who produced the HBO docudrama Deadly Voyage, which starred Epps. In Love & Basketball, Epps found a feature-film role literally tailor-made for him. With Epps in mind, director Gina Prince-Bythewood created the character of an aspiring NBA player who falls for the girl athlete-next-door...
