There is a REALLY great film out now being distributed by Sony
called "Train Ride." The film is written and directed by new super-
talent Rel Dowdell. "Train Ride, is causing a sensation,
winning awards, and is now a legitimate world wide best-seller on
amazon.com. It is an incredibly affecting drama that takes place on a
college campus, plus a whole lot more. It's a MUST-SEE, MUST-HAVE
film for ANYONE who is actively dating!

Here's the filmmaker's website:
http://reldowdell.com/

"Train Ride" stars Wood Harris (from the hit HBO show "The Wire")
female rap pioneer MC Lyte, Guru (from the iconic rap
group "Gangstarr") and the late, great Esther Rolle (her last film).
Russell Hornsby (from the hit ESPN show "Playmakers") also has a
pivotal principal role in the film. Kadee Strickland ("The Grudge")
has a cool supporting role in the film also.

The film is an incredible, universal drama that takes place on a
fictional college campus. It's the kind of film many can relate
to, but are afraid to do so because it either happened to them or
someone they know. It reminded me so much of where I went to school
at Del State! Get it today from amazon.com (it's cheap):

www.amazon.com/


I just got an email from a friend that informed me that the film is
making history, straight up. The momentum the film has built up
since it's release and festival wins (it won a major award
for BEST FEATURE at the American Theatre of Harlem film festival) has
been awesome. Check out the award site at:
http://www.americantheatreofharlem.org/prod.html

Check out the amazon.com info below. "Train Ride" is in the top 10
(#9) in worldwide sales for top-selling African-American films on
amazon.com (#1 selling site for ANYTHING on the net)! It's passed
MANY of the classics (like "What's Love Got to do With It"
and "Soldier's Story"), many of which were box-office
smashes ("Malcolm X," "Menace to Society", "Original Kings of
Comedy") and even Oscar-winners ("Glory")!

Numbers don't lie. I'm very happy for everyone involved with this
landmark film that's beating the odds and making history. There's a
cool remark about Wood Harris' performance in the film
when you click on the amazon.com site for "Train Ride" under
customer reviews. It looks like a female wrote it from Michigan
somewhere. That's how you know the actor did a great job in the film,
when viewers are affected like that. Reminds me of when I saw "Color
Purple" and felt about Danny Glover.

Get "Train Ride" today! You won't regret it! It could save, or
preserve a life, especially for anyone about to go to college, or
just starting there!
