GIRLFIGHT IN MOVIE THEATRES THIS WEEKEND
"Girlfight," a fierce rites of passage story about a quick-tempered girl who finds
discipline, self-respect and love in the most unlikely place - a boxing ring.
Winner of the Best Directing Award and a shared Grand Jury Prize at the 2000
Sundance Film Festival, "Girlfight" stars newcomer Michelle Rodriguez in an
astounding performance alongside Jaime Tirelli, Paul Calderon and Santiago Douglas.
Nothing comes easy for Diana Guzman (Michelle Rodriguez), a troubled girl. Her
teachers don't understand her, her father underestimates her and her friends are few.
She doesn't know how to control her anger, and more importantly, she doesn't care.
Sent on an errand one day, Diana discovers the secret world of boxing at a gym in
Brooklyn. Looking around at the determined fighters glistening with sweat
and purpose, she knows she has finally found a place where she truly belongs.
Diana begins training in secret until she is competing against other featherweights -
male and female. Complications inevitably follow when her friendship with fellow
boxer Adrian (Santiago Douglas) blossoms into a sweet, tentative romance.
As Diana builds physical strength and endurance, she becomes more self-assured
and ultimately, confident enough to allow herself to become vulnerable - a burden
that weighs heavily on her as she prepares for the most important fight of her life.
Drenched in sweat, emotion and attitude, "Girlfight" is a riveting testament to a new
femininity for a new century.

Saturday...

Vatos Locos' rock n' roll sound comes straight out of one of the meanest inner city
barrios of Houston. Vatos Locos' bootleg recordings have been known to pop in the
local cantinas, corner boom boxes and lowridin' cruisers. The band is a testament of
the hard times in the hood - growing fast, loving hard, fallin', living and coming back
strong!
