	SLAM
		SONJA SOHN plays a caring writing teacher who works at the prison and tries to help Ray straighten out his life.
		Sohn (another poet) occasionally shines in her performance, but is often hampered by a poorly written script that offers her contrived speeches more often than not.
		A brief scene where the two finally let loose with their angry beliefs regarding Ray's future is the best and most believable moment in the movie, and one only wishes the filmmakers took more time to keep that fire burning.

		It also helps win over Lauren Bell (Sohn), a social worker who encourages him to perform in public and turn his back on his past.
		There are also a series of odd bits that don't seem to belong, such as the scene with two cops singing doo-wop style and a cameo by former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry as a by-the-book judge.
		But Williams is a warm, winning presence, as are Sohn and Malone, and the material is done in such an ambitious, well-meaning way that those feel like minor complaints.

		Although the third act dilutes the credibility established by Levin's in-your-face vérité style, Slam is relentlessly passionate, unswerving in its conviction that there's an alternative to the violence that decimates North America's inner cities.
		The performances - especially by Saul Williams, Sonja Sohn, and Bonz Malone - are impeccable, and I'm not refering to just their dynamic slam poetry sessions, which are electrifying in a way that few passages of film are.

		It is through his poetry that he both connects to the other inmates, including the self-proclaimed "smoking man/Zen gangsta" Hopha (played by co-writer Bonz Malone), as well as the teacher/poet, Lauren Bell, played by the remarkable Sonja Sohn.
		Miss Sohn is a woman with a powerful voice and strong screen presence, who can turn a heavy piece of prose with a whisper and her poetry with a fierceness belying her small stature.
		It would normally be ironic, even otherworldly, that Sonja Sohn's poignant poem, "Run Free or Die" just happened to be the poem that she read the night Levin and Malone first discovered her at a New York slam.

		This message is supported by the independent poetry careers of Williams and Sohn, who are using their talent to shake things up.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Wire - The Complete First Season -- Dominic West - DVD
		Filmed in Baltimore, the series was set in motion when a local judge, disgusted with the lack of progress in the war on drugs, ordered the city's Narcotics and Homicide divisions to join forces in their efforts to solve a string of murders which might have been drug-related.
		The "good guys" included homicide detectives Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) and Bunk Moreland (Wendell Pierce) and narcotics detectives Shakima Greggs (Sonja Sohn), Cedric Daniels (Lance Reddick), Ellis Carver (Seth Gilliam), and Herc Hauk (Domenick Lombardazzi).
		To say that these law officers did not always see eye to eye would be an understatement, but their jealous squabbles were minor compared to the ego-driven flare-ups within the bad guys' camp -- specifically the members of the Franklin Towers drug dealing operation, led by Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris) and his contentious relatives.
