DRIVEN PREMIERE: CALLING ALL SZoners
I’ve received word from Greg Spotts, who has spearheaded the Driven Street Team Publicity (and who provided us with Driven magnets and postcards), that on April 16th, Driven will premiere at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. They will close down Hollywood Blvd. so that Champcars can rocket down the street in front of the theater!
I know that we have SZoners who can attend given enough notice… so here’s hoping this is notice enough! If you are able to attend, we’d love to hear from you!

Rocky Gift Set Reviewed
The April 20, 2001 issue of Entertainment Weekly gives the “Rocky” Giftset the lead review in the New To DVD section. Marc Bernardin gives the set an overall “B” rating. SZoners will be glad to hear that Mr. Bernardin says of all of the extras that come in the set, “the most interesting bit is a 28-minute interview with STALLONE, who gives something of a “Rocky” oral history from genesis to release. By turns touching, insightful, and self-indulgent, it’s a fascinating look at a star glancing back through time at the role that, for better or worse, defined him.”
