...Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations announced yesterday that actress Jada Pinkett-Smith will serve as its Guest of Honor at this Saturday’s 20th annual Cultural Rhythms show...
...quality about it--just these two increasingly edgy guys, their car and the people they encounter. Those include, in Stuart Beattie's low-key but curiously literate script, a nostalgic jazzman, a soulfully menacing drug lord--and even Max's hospitalized mom. The most significant of these others is Jada Pinkett Smith's Annie, a prosecutor, who as Max's first fare of the night befriends him, then turns out to be the last victim on Vincent's list.

In production since February 2001, it puts Jada Pinkett Smith's Niobe--not exactly a central figure in The Matrix Reloaded--front and center. There are two hours' worth of new scenes that pop up between levels, and Pinkett Smith submitted to several months of highly advanced "mo-cap"--a motion-capture technique that turns body movements into digital information--so that you're literally playing...
