Wonder who will they get to play Kimmer--Jada? http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingsoon/e/empererofoceanpark.shtm   K Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Do good books necessarily make good movies? What movies do you think have or haven't made the transition sucessfully?   Chris Hayden Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

I'm sure the screen writer will have his/her work cut out.
