Stars Of 9-Ball: The Movie Smash A Billiards Rack
This movie has long been in the "billiards rack", the works if you will, and the rumor mill runs high now that the lovely and talented Jennifer Barretta has been added to the cast.

The Baron And The Kid (1984) Starring Johnny Cash
The Baron And The Kid... had nothing to lose... and everything to win. Starring Johnny and June Carter Cash in two of their better dramatic roles.
