By Jason Nason
Last year at the 54th Annual Emmy Awards UPN came away with 2 creative arts awards, both for ENTERPRISE. This year UPN has seven nominations, down from eleven in 2002. At least one statuette should be a lock for the network, as it holds four of the five nominations for one category.

|  BAD BOYS II [R]
Starts Today!
Rascally bad boys Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprise their roles from the 1995 smash hit that catapulted each to stardom and marked Michael Bay's first feature film. Eight years later, everyone is back. Mike Lowrey (Smith) and Marcus Bennett (Lawrence) are still narcotics cops and their boss (Joe Pantoliano) is still chewing them out. Back then, they were tracking heroin smugglers; now the drug of choice for dealers is ecstasy. The duo's investigation leads to a dangerous kingpin who complicates matters by kidnapping Marcus' sister, Syd (Gabrielle Union), a DEA agent who also happens to be Mike's new girlfriend. [Columbia Pictures]

 Teen Vogue
August/September 2003
Eve, starring in her new sitcom EVE this fall on UPN, is featured in the August/September 2003 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. Here is an exerpt from the article:
"I didn't want to do it at first, I didn't think it was for me. But it was an amazing script and I thought, Why not?" Why not? For starters, she quickly found out that a series star's shooting schedule can be grueling. "The week we shot the pilot," Eve remembers, "was one of the hardest of my life. I was ready to quit."
The Incredible Hulk (Animated Series) (2003) (NEW!)
The DVD compiles the first four episodes of the 1996-97 animated series, which outline the Hulk's origins, as well as the struggles of his human alter ego, Bruce Banner, to rid himself of the creature. The episodes also make fine use of Marvel's rosters of heroes and villains; in the two-part "Return of the Beast," the Hulk tangles with the Leader, the Gargoyle, and the hideous Abomination, while in "Raw Power," he's up against the malevolent ZZZAX; and in "Helping Hand, Iron Fist," he goes mano-a-mano with Iron Man and War Machine. Terrific performances (TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno provides the creature's voice) and extensive extras make this DVD a must-have for comic and cartoon aficionados. --Paul Gaita
