Martial arts just normally would not draw me to the box office.

Traffic is one of the most powerful films to come out in recent years. It blew me away.

Macauley Culkin was on the show a lot. Or Haley Joe Osment.

In a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole's case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours.
